For our group writing project, Cory, Eric, and I are writing a series of letters. The genre of the letter series is sort of a “Dear Abby” meets the book and new movie, He’s Just Not that Into You. There will be different people sending letters seeking advice about things they want or long for, but can not get and need to learn how to cope with that longing. We will use the texts, “On Longing”, “The Red Convertible”, and “The Things They Carried”. We thought about using some personal experiences for the problem letters and the advice would come from the texts we have chosen.
I know that I have had trouble finding the time or subjects to write about for this blog, so I decided to post this and give you all sort of a “free-be” subject to post about. If you would like, you could post some ideas about personal experiences you have gone through that we might be able to use for our project. You could make something up or give a real life personal experience, you could even post it as an example letter. I hope this post helps some of you out with blog posting, or even give you some ideas for your own writing projects! Good luck and see you in class!
