    It was a pleasure to start another four week course with Robert Gish at UNM Continuing Ed tonight. I wrote a little about Robert before when I took this class with him a first time. The class is on short story writing- some theory and some practicum. Robert is a Ph.D., but above that,...

    Tonight was the last night of the summer screenwriting class I took with Marc Calderwood through UNM Continuing Education, and like each of the others, it was educational and entertaining. After Marc took a little time to recap some of the big thoughts we were supposed to take away from the course, he then...

As usual, as soon as Dr. Gish entered the classroom, his anecdotes began, followed by a barrage of review questions about the last two sessions. Naturally, his questions were meant to dredge up in my elastic brain correct...

    Tonight, I started a four-week “Writing Short Stories” course offered by the Continuing Education arm of the University of New Mexico. The course, a second writing course I’ve taken through Continuing Ed, was meant to perhaps prompt me to write better and more creatively, like a Jolt Cola for my mind, I hoped. Once...

    I ended up going to the UNM Continuing Education Building on University north of Indian School tonight after work to start a six-week class on writing. More specifically, on writing the scene- the basic building block of all novels, narratives, and dramas. The first class was informative. After a quick run through the syllabus...

Brett has been interested in film for...
