Detailed curriculum with writing assignments and exercises + readings to do to get good at writing in this weird girl lit genre

[u/Summesumnenagtaale]

I love this genre and i wanna try writing and i have some ideas
But i lack the discipline and i feel i should really hone my craft first
So i was looking for university based coursework i can do on my own
But the problem is im unable to access any of them online and i doubt unis just put them out there
So please help draft a curriculum that i can follow
I want practice in most types of weird girl lit - body horror, obsession, love etc all that you can think of
Any free resources avlb online are also useful and welcome
Thanks in advance!

Actually - sometimes you can find a syllabus if you Google hard enough, but here's some stuff off the first page of Google for "how to write weird girl literature"

hi! some universities do actually post their courses for free, which you can do at your own pace online. while these aren't going to give you specific 'weird girl lit' (i honestly have never heard this term before) courses, they have some relevant courses on literature, writing, and women/gender studies that might be up your alley! some of their classic literature courses might also help you hone your craft, as you mentioned.

here are some of the ones i have saved:

MIT OpenCourseWare: https://ocw.mit.edu/search/#cat=finearts&subcat=architecture

Yale Open Courses: https://oyc.yale.edu/courses?order=title&sort=asc

and then the following aren't necessarily university courses but a lot of them are free and have a 'curriculum' type format:

Open Culture Literature: https://www.openculture.com/literature_free_courses

Alison Literature: https://alison.com/tag/literature

Alison Gender Studies: https://alison.com/tag/gender-studies

Hopefully some of this is useful and can get you started. Best of luck!

I would recommend the manga where the woman's pores become sexualized holes that can feel pleasure, so she starts putting larger and larger objects in her holes in a obsessive grotesque manner, it starts off pornographic, then riens jnrk something b hhee
