Today in Creative Nonfiction

Hope you all enjoyed the festival! Today we'll do a festival re-cap, then discuss the art of revision.

For an in-class revision exercise, please be sure you have a copy of your Tiny Masters exercise. (If you don't have a copy, you can use a piece from your encyclopedia/blog entries, too.)

Some mysterious concepts to ponder between now and then:

Revision = re-vision.
Essay = from essais: French. Meaning to attempt or try out.
E.B. White: "Writing is an act of faith." Multiple acts of faith.

For Thursday: Bring copies of your festival-inspired pieces or post them to your blogs. Begin reading Paris of Appalachia by Brian O'Neill.
