Hitting the blog early, because I'll be busy all weekend. Anyway, we got to see the last of the presentations this week, which was nice. There were so many different ones, so it was funny to see that their rules of submissions were all so similar. We've also started to talk about out own literary journals, and I'm both excited and apprehensive about it. Time will tell how it will turn out, but there are quite a few hardworking and naturally leader like people that are helping the group along. I'm really grateful to them for that, because I usually have trouble with group projects. I just hope I'll be able to make some useful suggestions and not feel useless.
We got to workshop again as well, and I'm loving it more and more each time we do it. It's fun looking over others' work and having them look over you own work as well. Getting this much feedback is pretty awesome, and it makes me feel a bit more prepared for the portfolio coming up. I'm looking forward to even more workshop days, and the journal projects might make that easier since we'll have to look at more work and help edit (and vice versa).
And helping people revise and edit is helping with my own revision and editing. I'm getting better and picking out some of my wordy phrasing, and replacing it with better, stronger words. I'm also getting better at finding inconstences, like it's day in one paragraph, but suddenly night in the following paragraph. Overall, I think I've improved quite a bit.
