Get Organized—Just for Writers
Course #: COMM 1100-51
As freelance writers it's easy to be overwhelmed with great ideas, distracted when trying to write, and disorganized to the point of getting very little accomplished. This class will give you the tools to develop a personalized, flexible routine to keep all your writing projects on track and moving toward completion.
You'll learn how to make the best use of even a little bit of time each week, expand your research to include multiple projects, keep track of queries and rejections, log expenses and tax deductions, take advantage of seasonal opportunities, and complete your own personal goals as a writer. Whether you are writing novels, magazine articles, screenplays, or anything else, you'll find this system of organization works! (No text)
