Hi Class!
Don't forget to check the syllabus for all your assignments--I won't post everything on the blog, just changes, in-class stuff, etc. So check both.

Here's a link to Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott for Tuesday. I will also leave hardcopies in my box in 313.

Journal #4: A Place

We've done a lot with people watching, now let's switch to places. Think of a place that you are very familiar with--it could be someplace you go now, a place from childhood, a place you go when you need to get away. It can be in nature or urban. A house. A van. A place you go to in your imagination. Put yourself in that place and describe it. What's the weather like? What time of day is it? What are the sounds, smells, tastes and sights of the place? How do you feel there? Are you alone? Who else is there? What happens in this place? Feel free to make something happen there if you like. Write for 10 minutes.
