Blogging with Mr. B for 5th block Creative Writing


Okay, so here's the deal. Instead of being in Nashville, Tennessee, where I'm supposed to be right now getting ready for presentations at a conference, I'm stuck in Denver, Colorado. Anyone seen Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? I'm living it right now!

So, as I wait for my pizza to be delivered to the hotel I have to stay in, I thought I'd get you started for tomorrow, since I might not be at a handy-dandy computer when your blogging session rolls around.

Here's what I want to know from each of you...

What is it about writing creatively, from the heart, that interests YOU? Not why others do it. What about your experiences with writing is interesting to you? What is your favorite genre to write? Poems? Short stories? Flash fiction? Non-fiction? What? What do you get out of writing from the truly creative inspiration you get?

Answer that question with full purpose and detail. Be honest here. Yes, others will see your posts and laugh hysterically, but who cares??? Be honest with yourself for once and be bold enough to include those thoughts here in the blogosphere.

Remember to put your first name and last initial at the bottom of your post each time. No name or full name = NO CREDIT. Yes, that's ticky-tack. Yes, you're big kids now with big kid skills. First name, last initial.

In your not-so-humble opinion, who is the best character in TKaM?

Now that you've finished what librarians have voted the best book of the 20th century, I want you to tell me why it's such good literature.Specifically, address the following things:

1. Who is the best character in TKaM? Why? Explain yourself.

2. What makes TKaM such an incredible novel to read?

3. What have you learned from reading it?

When you've written your post, include your first name and last initial only at the bottom just like I do at the end of this.

Mister B.
