ENGLISH 1A – 7PM

10/6/20

7-7:10pm:  How are you?  What have you been writing?  How are you going to approach the rest of the semester?  And yes, it’s time to start thinking that way, already.

7:10-7:30pm:  Your life as Literature..  Your moments are manuscripts.  What does this mean to you?

7:30-7:50pm:  Do you see your life as Literary?  Why or why not?

7:70-8:10pm:  Ever catch yourself overthinking?  What do you do to change, if anything?

8:10-8:30pm:  How can we use overthinking, rather than fight it?  This is entirely a writing issue…..  And it can go several ways, directions, climbs, and flights.

8:30-8:40pm:  Close…..  What’s on tonight’s page?

ASSIGNMENT:  Continue working on Sedaris essay.  Type a one-page story from your day, and email it to me.  Keep writing in your journal…. Record your observations and react to them!  Buy Samantha Irby’s book, ‘We Are Never Meeting In Real Life’.

    For my page for tonight, Use think as something to get more ideas and not something that distracts you.

    Tonights page is going to be a practice page of me writing exactly what I want to write, not what I think others want to read. I need to be interested in my topic too!

    Stop thinking of essays as “essays”…. see them as your ideas, supported opinions and positions. They’re easy to write, but sometimes difficult to sit down and scribble, type..
