Feeling Bloggy?

For this weekend, please finish reading Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life and finish your own encyclopedic entries.

Then: put your entries on a blog. This will be fun. I promise. You can use any blogging platform (Blogger/www.blogspot.com is one that's easy and free). Once you've set up your blog, link to our class blog. Then post your blog site's address in the comments section below.

I'll post links to all of your blogs on our class blogroll. (All this blog talk makes my brain bloggy. How are yours?) We'll use the blogs in class for workshop. That's right. No paper this time around.

In class on Tuesday, we'll also be talking about revising for voice and intimate point of view (per Truth of the Matter, Ch. 5). We'll use Amy Krouse Rosenthal as an example of a writer with a distinctive voice and intimate style. We'll also talk about how blogging can help you develop voice and a sense of what it means to write to be read.

p.s. If you haven't done so already, check out AKR's own website/blog at www.whoisamy.com.
