This Week in Blogging: Time's Running Out -- Get Yr Blogs Up


Tonight we have a tasty quiz, followed by a quick preview of the importance of voice in writing, as well as an introduction to your blogs. Your homework assignments include:
* Read Chapter 4 in Huffington
* Read the handout from Julie Powell's book Julie & Julia and be prepared to discuss the role of voice in both Powell's book and her blog (check it -- http://juliepowell.blogspot.com.
* Get your blogs up and running. Three entries by next Tuesday. Be sure to exchange blog titles and addresses with the members of your group. Be sure to comment actively on the blogs in your group, too. (By active, at least five comments per week -- and spread the love. Don't just comment on the same blog every week. Comment on all the blogs in your group.)

Get to work. And don't Dali! (Get it? Dali?)

Also, breaking news... Mr. Baconpants, a.k.a. Jason Mosley, will be visiting on Tuesday, Sept. 29. Please make a short list of questions you'd like to ask Jason and give that list to me next week. I'll pass your questions to Jason. (And don't forget to visit http://www.mrbaconpants.com for the latest in bacon-mania.)
