Just Write Your Story

Subreddits about writing, especially those that lean more toward advice-giving, tend to have a few things in common.

IDS-404: Popular Culture at SNHU

I picked "Popular Culture" because I figured we'd get to talk about movies and TV and music. How hard could it be? I've been steeped in pop culture for 30 years. Turns out, I was almost right.

ENG-421: New Media – Writing and Publishing at SNHU

This is ENG-340 taken to its logical end: a complete authorial presence and publishing plan. It sounds like a lot, and it can be, but there isn't anything super difficult here.

LIT-450: Seminar in American Literature at SNHU

If my college education was a movie, ENG-359 would be the climax, and LIT-450 (plus the next two courses) would be the last 15 minutes of the film that tries to wrap up the loose ends (except my ending was 16 weeks long, so it was more like The Return of the King that way).

ENG-359: Advanced Fiction Writing Workshop at SNHU

Everything led to this course. Every reason I had for going back to school brought me to this point. Sure, there are three more classes after this—two of them relevant to my major—but when you want to learn to be a better writer, you yearn for the workshops.

LIT-300: Literary Theory at SNHU

My studies covered literary theories like Marxism, New Criticism, and Formalism way back in LIT-200, and LIT-300 is merely more of the same. Like I said about LIT-200, it's a lot. Take heart, though, because any student who did well in that course should have no trouble here.

ENG-350: The English Language at SNHU

I'm the kind of person who listens to podcasts about language, like Word Matters from Merriam-Webster, so this class should have been right up my alley. And it was! Except when it wasn't. Hold on, I'll explain.

ENG-349: Intermediate Fiction Writing Workshop at SNHU

This is why I went back to school. The beginning workshop in ENG-329 was good, and I expected this course to build on it; I wasn't disappointed.

Transfer Credits: Pros and Cons for Older Students

When I enrolled at SNHU (Online), I transferred courses I'd taken in 1993, 1994, and 2003. It seemed like the right thing to do—a real no-brainer—but was it?
