Conferences

Hey, folks!  For our second/final round of conferences, I'd like to not only look over drafts of your short stories, but also answer any questions you have on your creative nonfiction pieces--or anything else, for that matter, since we're now about halfway through the summer term.  Obviously, time is really flying by and we're trying to cover a lot of material so feel free to voice any questions or concerns that you may have!

As before, please sign up for at least one conference; I'm adding an extra conference day this time since I've had quite a few students express an interest in meeting with me more than once.  Feel free to sign up for a second conference if you like (we can keep it tentative in case you want/need to change the time).  I tend to meet with former students at Starbucks pretty often, too, in case you'd rather do that instead.

Oh, I like to preface the poetry section with a film and decided this time to offer a choice between "Dead Poets Society" and "Howl," since both will work quite nicely (although they're very different films).  Just let me know your vote in conference.
