1- journal-
What is art? What's beauty? Should it be strived for in our writing?
Or- alternately, what are you striving for? what are your writing goals?
2- short story- the lottery- We learned to not tell, be quick, include surprise, and focus on conflict, of some sort- maybe also to limit adverbs, and limit dialog tag descriptors that do the work dialog should.
3- groups....Ff-- Delta and Plus.
4- reading-We postponed. Be prepared to do it though, maybe at a Safeway.
5- homework-
A. please read "A good man is hard to find" as an exemplar, a touchstone-- note tricks, turns and tools to discuss on the page, and come with three questions you've prepared for the class about style, technique or theme.
B. Please read the next 60 in Lolita.
C. Revise and edit flash fiction for submission.
D. Be sure to have your first Lolly response, focusing craft, for a discussion you'll lead.
6- turn in poems- keep reading response.
