We are underway for the 2010-2011 class

Greetings to all of you who were either at the class last night or will be joining us soon. For those in the latter category, please note that the class goes from 6:15 p.m. to 9:15 on Tuesday nights -- which caught me by surprise last night.

I changed one of the assignments on the syllabus and added another. Here is the change:

In "Writing Tools," read Tool 3 and do Workshops 1 through 4 on Page 22. Use the 300-word profile of your neighbor that you are writing as the writing you will review. For those of you absent from last night's class, please write a 300-word bio of yourself and then use it as the writing sample for Workshops 1 through 4.

Here is the new assignment: Read chapters 2 and 4 in "Economical Writing." You are welcome to read all of the chapters in this little book, but we will certainly be discussing aspects of the chapters that I assign.
