Welcome!
Welcome to Intro to Creative Writing. Here I'll post weekly updates, assignments, and announcements. Make sure your blog is working, from the blog list to the left (when they get posted), and feel free to check others' blogs to see what they're thinking and writing.
For next week:
Follow syllabus. Readings are posted on myemich (under "files" for this class). From the poetry packet, read: Shakespeare, Mullen, and Berrigan (sonnets).
Also, set up your blog according to the instructions and bring the URL to class next week.
And, the creative assignment: write 2 poems using the language from 1 of the poems from the handout we used in class. You can only use the language from the original poem (all or some of it) and you cannot use more than one or more words in a row (rearrange the individual words and make 2 different poems of your own from the words).
