#engl398r "thing awful was about to happen; looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smoke winding off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh said, 'Musing among the vegetables?'—was that it?—'I prefer men to cauliflowers'—was that it?"

Wolfe outlined how a project manager is important to keeping a team on track despite the misconception that they are just a "boss" #engl398r

[Jamie @jamie398R]

The recommendations I took away from Wolfe were to keep a task agenda with deadlines and who is doing what as well as meeting minutes #engl398r

The experimental essay has been my favorite so far. I love being able to think outside of the box while unpacking very real experiences #engl398r

[Jamie @jamie398R]

Clark's descriptions of colons, dashes, and parentheses was a very effective explanation of their (often confusing) differences #engl398r

[Jamie @jamie398R]

For my experimental essay, I'm thinking about writing a braided essay about alcoholism and wanting control through two distinct sets of childhood vignettes #engl398R

How do you find a healthy blend of unanswered and answered questions with a lyric essay? #engl398R

[Jamie @jamie398R]

I had never heard of the "ladder of abstraction" so I will definitely think about the craft reading on its varying levels as I finish my narrative essay #engl398R

[Jamie @jamie398R]

The craft reading on internal cliffhangers mentioned that a "cliff" is not required to write a cliffhanger, something I'd never considered #engl398R

I learned a lot about the history of the Jewish community in Iraq from @Natalie51542876's essay #engl398R

I am researching canoeing, adrenaline, and the landscape/geography between the Canadian and US border near Maine for my narrative essay #engl398r

"I had assumed I was coming in at the beginning of the story," really sums up Gerard's impactful piece on facts and storytelling that drives home how every story has multiple sides, or truths #engl398r

[Jamie @jamie398R]

The Gutkind quote "One person said it was the scent of unsettled souls" really stood out to me, and made me wonder where the quote was originally heard. #engl398r

"Do you think people would believe in astrology as much if they knew how boring stars actually are" - my bf to his roommate #engl398r #overheard

"in the summer, she and her sister and brothers would sing on the roof of their building at night, huddled and hungry and happy, a long time ago but not very long ago at all," Brian Doyle, Hope (from Moore reading) is an incredibly strong ending w the imagery and H's #engl398R

Even after Schwartz's suggestions, I am still wondering how thorough of an interview is required to write from someone else's perspective. #engl398R

[Jamie @jamie398R]

I'm really excited to see how @hana398r and @lucy398R expanded on their (already great) ideas from Tuesday and responded to questions brought up during the workshop. #engl398r
