Great. Now this is an important part of the course, and it's one that could, if done properly, last you long after the course is finished. I want you to involve yourself with an online writing community. There are many, many, many possible homes for your writing life, and part of being a successful writer is having a group of (objective) people who can be called on to give you honest opinions on your writing.
Here is an assignment sheet that explains the rationale and requirements of the assignment, but the basics are simple:
- find an online blog/forum that you like. You should like the material posted on the site, and you should like the way people talk to one another (I want you to involve yourself in this community, so it's important you not hate the people within).
- sign up for the forum and tell me your handle/user name.
- participate! You can post your own writing, or simply comment on the writing of others.
- participate at least 5 different times. The length of each post/comment doesn't really matter. Longer, more thought out posts/comments will receive a better mark, but five (5) comments of "I like your writing" will receive a passing mark.
OK? Any questions - you know the drill. ASK ME!
