In Creative Writing 101, students will receive an introduction to creative writing as a whole, including fiction and nonfiction prose.

Gotham Writers' Workshop

Gotham Writers' Workshop teaches more than 7,000 students every year how to tackle and tame the writing process in a creative learning environment. Professional writers help students to develop characters and generate ideas before a structured dialogue encourages classmates to comment on strengths and weakness, improving final drafts and abilities to stand up to playground bullies. Gotham also provides follow-up services and bolsters the communication skills of experienced writers, teenagers, and muffled mummies alike with private instruction and tips found in its books, Writing Movies and Writing Fiction.

The Groupon Guide to: Logic Puzzles

Challenging the brain keeps it from turning into a soft, spreadable gel that looks delicious but will give you canker sores. Keep your brain firm and supple by exercising it with these logic puzzles:

  • A man takes 10 flights of stairs to work every day but only has to walk down 9 flights of stairs to get home. How is this possible? (Answer: He takes 10 flights of stairs to work … in his backpack—they're small! He just walks up and down 9 flights of stairs to get to his office and back.)

  • You're planning a dinner party for six people. Horace won't sit next to Patricia because of her political views, but he has to sit next to Alice because they're practically married. Nina and Catherine have to sit across from each other because they both love to laugh. Phillip will bring his own chair, which can't be near anyone because he has a leg condition. What is your seating plan? (Answer: Why do you always invite Phillip?)

  • A father wants his three sons to inherit a glass figurine, a candle, and two pewter oranges. The eldest son has already been promised the candle. How should the father split up the rest of his estate so that it is fair? (Answer: The youngest son gets the figurine and the pewter oranges. Middle children inherit nothing in the culture where this takes place.)

Do Catherine and Nina both love to laugh?
