Welcome!

Welcome...the purpose of this site is to provide a center for class activity, and to create a community of writers, poets, and artists.

On the right, the links to other classmate blogs will be listed under the corresponding semester and class. In time, this center can perhaps be a larger community of writers.

As we'll see (or may have already observed), many of the writers we read, study, admire, etc have had the luxury of a well-rounded creative community. This site seeks to become perhaps a step in that direction.

Also, recognizing that the writer developes beyond (and oftentimes, in spite of) the classroom, these blogs you create are your own creatures. My purpose is just to create a central location to begin fostering artistic creation and exploration.

Jodi i am waiting to see more. I want to see just a little skip, not a leap or even a jump. I know what a challenge this blog can be. I love reading your ideas and what happens in your head.

Hi, Jodi! I've followed your example and made a blog for my 101 class. It's part of their fourth unit, but I too hope that it can be more than just a 3 week fling. http://www.andreasbunch.blogspot.com.

Dan Beachy-Quick is reading next semester as part of the Sp 08 MFA Readings... so excited!
