Class VI—May 4
- Poem—TBD
- Discussion—Discuss Reading Assignments: Pick “one thing” that stood out for you in one of the readings. Did something you read help you with your writing process? Were you able to apply a thought to something you wrote? Or something you edited? We’ll briefly discuss your “one things” before launching into our workshop.
- Writers share (~12 minutes each. Timed.)
- Parting Gift: Forthcoming
- How to Write a Cover Letter for a Literary Journal Submission by Michelle Richmond an author I know and admire. Her novels are well written, and ones I’ve enjoyed. Some are quite suspenseful.
WRITING ASSIGNMENT FOR CLASS VI: Where I Am From (PDF Download)
Either write from the “Where I Am From” exercise, edit your piece from last time, or bring to class something you want to write. The only requirement: your piece is not to exceed 700 words. We are still thinking in terms of the “micro-memoir.”
Please email your submission to me at anahaysmccracken@gmail.com in a word doc, typed in 12-point Times Roman font, double spaced, with your name at the top and page numbers on lower right hand side no later than Saturday evening, May 3rd at 11:59 PM. I will email our writing to the group by Sunday morning. OR… if you can’t make that deadline, submit on Sunday to the group.
