Creative Writing Courses

This fall I'll be studying abroad and I won't have the chance to take any creative writing courses. But I'm already planning my courses at Amherst for the spring, even though preregistration is months away. Here's what I'm hoping to take:

English 11: 20th Century Theater of the Americas

I shopped this course last spring but it didn't fit in my schedule, so I'll definitely take it this time around!

English 36: Shakespeare

This has been offered every semester and it hasn't fit yet. I love Shakespeare and I've heard great things about the professor, Bosman.

English 52: Caribbean Poetry: The Anglophone Tradition

Looks very interesting, but it's at 8:30 AM and it might have to go.

Theater & Dance 61: Playwriting Studio

Possible preparation for my senior thesis.

Instead of the Poetry class - or as a fifth class - I'll also apply to Fiction Writing I at Amherst and Advanced Short Stories at Smith. I've only applied to the Fiction class once; if I'm published by next January, though, I have a pretty good chance at the Smith class, and it's definitely preferable.

1165 words into the untitled previously mentioned short story, and it's going well. I'm hoping to post it on AbsoluteWrite in a few days - and possibly submit it to literary journals by the end of the month! I'm not expecting success at the first go, but I still want to try.
