Breathe Life Back Into Our Podcasts

Believe it or not everyone but people are saying "we enjoyed the first podcast, 'Comma Drama', but where are the rest?"

To continue using technology in a proactive way and gain more recognition from the community on our innovative approaches to reach out, we are asking for ideas and even your time in helping script, read, act, videotape or edit both new podcasts and you-tube videos.

To generate some ideas and start the ball rolling I have thought of a few ideas I would love to see bloom!

1. Describe what the writing center does

5. Bridge the student expectation of a "grammar and spelling check" to generating ideas about his/her writing process.

Writing That You Love!

Howdy Folks,

I've been reading/watching great writing/screenwriting this semester and I would like to get some insight on what everyone else is reading/watching. Because this is so broad, I'm dividing this post into a multiple sections. Sharing is caring! Click on the links for further fun!

Enjoy!

First - SHORT STORIES -

Everyone is aware about the wealth of short story material that Ernest Hemingway has provided to the English language. Since we've been informed about this consensus and somewhat trust it to be true, some of us feel like there is little value in experiencing his short stories for ourselves. I was one of these skeptics. Of putting Hemingway in a box, I was the chief of sinners. But forgive me, Ernie, I didn't know. Recently, I completed In Our Time. This collection of stories is nothing short of genius. Sure his minimalism and ventures in modernism may cause wrinkles on the frontal lobe, but after you've carefully personally experienced Hemingway you will realize that there is something super special to his literature. His work is of the highest quality. Now, I wasn't completely chaste from Hemingway's short stories, I've read some. But rereading the few familiar passages brought a new level of appreciation. "Hills Like White Elephants" is regarded as one of the greatest short stories of all time and the more you read it the more you love it. I strongly recommend Hemingway's In Our Time collection.
