On+Writing--+A+Memoir+of+The+Craft

=__On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft__ by Stephen King =

== This semester, we will be reading and discussing Stephen King's book __On Writing__. Each week you will be expected to read a certain section of the book (the assignments are posted below). As you read, keep track of your thoughts, reactions, and questions by writing notes to yourself. Your Triggerbook would be a good place to do this. Periodically, we will discuss the book in class through a Socratic Seminar. ==

=== Before each Wednesday, blog for a few minutes under the "Discussion" tab on the top of this page. When you respond to the reading, remember this: __I'm not looking for a summary of the assignment!__ We're here to learn more about writing-- and we're reading this book to see what one writer has to say about his journey of becoming a writer. ===

· Feel free to respond to each other’s posts—this is where the real joy of discussion takes place.
The goal is to create a friendly discussion about a common text: write your responses as if the whole class will read them-- because that's __exactly__ who will be reading them!
