This week was very similar to last week. We listened to presentations and then spent more time workshopping. The only assignment for this week was to revise a piece of our own writings, either a short story or a poem, and bring it to class for workshop day. We were given a list of thirty-seven ways to revise, and only had to chose one, changing it slightly. I like having workshop days with classmates; I think it's a great way of editing and revising.
Monday we finished up the class presentations on literary journals or magazines. The presentations finished early, so we started discussing what our next big assignment was, a literary journal for us to do. We were assigned into two different groups, and as we separated we discussed some of the main things we want to include in our own literary journal. I am actually excited for this assignment, because not only will it help us by editing our peers writings, but also how to set up our own journal for others to subscribe too! The homework for the weekend, and what I still have yet to do, is to revise a poem for our lit journals.
This week has greatly inspired me to learn more about literary journals. Even though we had to give presentations over one specific lit journal we choose, actually having to make one of our own with a group of other students has made me learn even more! Being inspired to complete a literary journal is very exciting for me, and gives the class more time to work together. Being creative also comes into role when it comes to this project. One has to not only make it artistic, but also diverse. It has to be appealing to others, and enjoyable for the reader.
