Tonight in Blogging...

We'll enjoy a delicious Powerpoint Presentation on the wonders of voice and the eight rules of good blogging. We'll discuss what you love about language and writing. We'll discuss the voice of blogger/author Julie Powell. And we'll workshop some Group 1 blogs.

During the blog workshop, we'll follow basic writing-workshop protocol. This means the blog's author will be quiet during our discussion of his/her blog. There will be a chance for a response afterward. Our discussion of each blog should focus on these things:

* Voice
* Focus
* Technique (proofreading and accuracy)
* Reader interest
* Sense of beat reporting (owning the topic)

We'll also review your questions for Jason Mosley, Mr. Baconpants himself.

At home:
* Read Chapter 5 in Huffington.
* Maintain blogs.
* Group 2 is up for the next workshop.
* Jason Mosley visits next week! Be ready for bacon!(Now that's delicious!)
