Beginning, Monday, May 5, you should bring a journal for writing in that is just for writing creatively and nothing else or a personal computer with a word processing program. We will spend the next several days in class in two ways: seminar discussion about short excerpts of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry and quietly writing to a prompt.
The expectation during these writing times is that you stay focused on writing and complete as much of the prompt as you can in a class period. You may not finish all the prompts and that is fine. :)
