Blog Entry Three
Many authors, such as David Sedaris, use the idea of "obsession" as a jumping off point for their writing. What is it that you are obsessed with? Using the techniques of narrative that we've talked about, attempt to tell a story that not only makes your obsession clear, but attempts to understand why you are obsessed in the first place. The only rule: you may not write, explicitly, "I am obsessed with..." or "I'm obsessed with X because..." Your obsession and its reasons must be implied through your storytelling.

I don't know if it's my computer, but this font is way to small for me to read.
ReplyDeleteHey, anyone can answer this question. Once we create our own blog, do we have to share it for others to see it? I just want to make sure I, along with anyone else who may be wondering, is getting credit for their posts.
ReplyDeleteSydney: I think it's your computer. You can increase the text size in your browser under preferences. If, in class tomorrow, people concur that it's too small, I can increase the size, but, for now, I'm gonna delay that option, since I'm not having any trouble on my end.
ReplyDeleteCasher: If you look to your right, you'll see the "blogroll." your entry is the first one up there right now. Every time you put up a new post, the blogroll registers that new post, and everyone's blogs are organized accordingly to the last time you updated. Does that make sense? In other words: you are receiving credit for all of your work, no worries.
