Ashley - I forgot - I will be out of town October 14 so we need to set up another time.

For those of you who have not signed up - speak to me in class so we can set a time.


Class October 13
My flight is 8:35 - so I will probably need to leave for the air port right around when class starts.
We can talk about this in class - but I would like to propose that the rehearsal for the National Day of Writing be on October 13. We can set up a format for practicing your readings. We had a very successful approach last year that was primarily peer-to-peer.

National Day of Writing
Come to class with some ideas about what you might want to read. Readings can be a polished piece - or a work in progress. Last year students did both - and both kinds of readings were well received. The audience will be primarily your classmates and the friends and fans they invite. It is a chance to "publish" some of your work.

Your reading should not be longer than about 12 minutes. That way we get 5-6 people in an hour, and everyone can read in the 3 hour period we have reserved.

I will have a sign-up sheet and we can do some arranging for "short" & "long" slots to accommodate your individual work.

See you Wednesday.
