Tuesday, 23 October

Class began with students presenting Writing Down the Bones projects. Each student then choose one of the presentations as a prompt. After sharing writing the class had a lesson in properly editing of dialogue. This assignment was turned in so should be completed by all students who missed class.

Writers then discussed what kinds of feedback they needed to help them revise and improve the morbid fiction piece that is due on Monday. Ideas included feedback on the elements of story telling; feedback on pacing and variety; the balance of scene and summary. Some writers wanted feedback on questions such as, "What stays?" "What goes?" "What feels right?" "What's missing?"

Writers had time to conference with randomly assigned partners.
