Writing 12: Next meeting: January 25th at 7:15am.
To see details regarding the last month's assignments, go to the archives.
- First assignment: Write your earliest memory. Help the reader experience that memory. Email it to a peer for feedback when you're done, then revise and email it to me with a question you'd like me to focus on and give you feedback about.
- 2nd assignment: Get a large piece of paper (or do this on a prezi or whatever suits your fancy) and make a massive web of everyone in your past and present life who you've had a signifiant connection to. From each person on your web make branches which explore the story that lies in that connection to each person. Ask your parents or siblings to fill in the years that you don't remember as well. This is brainstorming. Do not let any idea be censored. Shut up your inner critic and just go nuts with the web.
- The Writers' Union has some awesome contests - deadlines range from Feb to the Spring: http://www.writersunion.ca/cn_main.asp
