Writing-201

Registration for October courses is now closed. See what’s coming up in November!

Writing 201: Poetry  is a two-week course that lets anyone who dabbles in verse (or wants to start) practice the poet’s craft with a supportive community of like-minded bloggers — learn more about its structure and topics!

This session runs from Monday, October 5 through Friday, October 16 and has been updated since we last offered it, so folks who joined us last time can find fresh inspiration.

I have never considered myself a writer, but after this workshop I feel I can consider writing, writing more frequently, and perhaps with more ease.

How do Blogging U. courses work?

Blogging U. courses exist for one reason: to help you meet your own blogging and writing goals.

  • Courses are free, flexible, and open to all.
  • You’ll get a tasks or writing prompts to respond to each weekday at midnight GMT, along with our best advice and favorite resources. Do them on your own time, and interpret them however makes sense for your specific blog and personal goals — we’re not grading you, we’re not checking to make sure you complete every task, and there’s no “wrong” way to use the resources we give you. Weekends are free!
  • Each course has a private community site, the Commons, for chatting, connecting, and seeking feedback and support. Daily Post staff and Happiness Engineers will be on hand to answer your questions and offer guidance and resources.

  2. I can’t wait!

    Two things I really loved about the previous Poetry 201:
    – The posts are shorter, so I get the opportunity to visit more new blogs. It is very exciting!
    – Because the prompts, forms of poetry and poetic devices can be combined and interpreted in so many different ways, there is greater variety in the posts themselves.

    Also, I’m really glad to see Ben will be around this Commons again. Don’t get me wrong, Michelle and Cheri are great, but it is rare to have Ben around a Commons and so it is always a special occassion.
