For those of you participating in the BlogMFA google group: now it is time for you to post a new work in progress for comments! There has been some question as to what you should post and my suggestion is that you post something you are struggling with.
Many of your are already doing the Poem-A-Day/NaPoWriMo challenge so feel free to use something from that but don’t feel you have to use something that fresh.
If you are looking for inspiration and/or you aren’t writing poems but want to try some other genres how about thinking in prose? Maybe even non-fiction work? I am thinking in non-fiction right now (partially because of my classes) due in large part to just finishing a really terrific edition of the Best American Essays from 2005. Here is one example from that book that is now online Dog Trouble by Cathleen Schine.
Gearing up for some shout outs for tomorrow!
Let me know if you have any questions about the Blog MFA that we work on each Monday.
Thanks!
I wanted to tell you about a new Journal if you have not heard, Dianne Lockward is involved and it seems an exciting publication… Adanna, http://www.adannajournal.blogspot.com/
I will be posting my work tomorrow…
I actually submitted something on Friday
looking forward to seeing the first issue
Great essay. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
It really is a great collection. I copied quite a few short ones for possible use with my students
Thanks Jessie! What about last Mondays MFA? Were we suppose to submit something for that? Or was it just to think about? Will read the essay and find something for this time, that I’m just not sure about.
No I just was posting a new topic to think about
