each Week #1:
Part of being a writer is taking stock of what’s influenced you: other writers, music, tv/film are the most common. But there’s also religious/philosophical texts, God / Nature / Death, dreams, the news, social media, and so on. All of this is to say, a good place to begin when establishing a writing practice is to identify your goals as a writer.
For this first entry, go to Saltz’s “Introduction” and find one passage you identify with and write about how it fits into your semester goals and vision for yourself as a writer. This is not an “essay” assignment. Write as you will: use images, concrete description, stream of consciousness, in the form of a poem, a letter, a scene on an elevator, whatever. Just have the passage with page number(s). Write for 20 minutes.
each Week #2:
Consider what Saltz says about fears that block us from creating: they are “circumstantial.” What a relief! And Saltz offers a solution: “I say yes–art is all of [your fears] and more. And your talent is like a wild animal that must be fed” (ix).
What are your fears about writing and how will you overcome them? No expository writing. You may only us images to write down and about these fears. (Write for 20 minutes.)
