This week, we focused again on workshopping and actually started working on the lit journals. I'm thinking Lulu will probably be easiest: it's cheap to print out copies, easy to use, and the final product won't be very expensive. Other than that, I can't even really think of any ideas--a PDF would maybe work, but it seems like it's just one step below Lulu, where you can put stuff on display as an ebook anyway.
The workshopping has gone well so far, though I find myself thinking it would probably be better if, as a class, we'd had more experience with reading/writing before moving onto workshopping (so there would be more vocabulary, background, and influence to bring to the critque, and familiarity with what writing actually is). Either way, the results have been decent so far; I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the process quite a bit.
This week, I finished reading Haruki Murakami's "1Q84" (which was extremely good), and also read a novel by Mary Renault called "The Mask of Apollo". I'm really glad we're doing the lit journals mostly in-class, because this is the last free time I'm going to have for an extremely long time--next week, I've got three papers (two of them involving research) to start, and a huge amount of work for my Japanese class.
It snowed for the first time a few days ago. I feel sorry for all the people on Wall Street.
