Now we write about our own lives

We will be writing our own stories. We are living in very interesting times and I want you all to be a part of this history. From here forward you are going to be working on writing your own life. 

 Here is how we will get started this week. 

 Start reading Her Body and Other Parties.

It is a genre-bending set of horror stories with a feminist twist. You should already have it. If you don't you can get it cheap on many bookselling sites. I expect you will have at least one story read from it by next Friday, March 25. I can give you suggestions about stories in it if you don't know what to choose. 

 To start here is an audio recording of the first story, The Husband Stitch. 
Note that it has a lot of sex scenes told from a woman's POV - or this particular woman. Listen to this with your headphones. 

 After you listen to the story, take 10 minutes and puke out your thoughts immediately. We will talk about the story and how you can use it to think about how you might want to write on your next topic. 

 If you are digging MMC here she is talking about the stories and the collection.

Synthesize  Don't simply repeat things that were in the project. How your points you made and the support and examples all fit together to say something? Do the opposite of how you start (and vice versa) Give your reader something to think about, perhaps a way to use your paper in the "real" world. If your introduction went from general to specific, make your conclusion go from specific to general.  Create a new meaning You don't have to give new information to create a new meaning. By demonstrating how your ideas work together, you create a new picture. The sum of the project is worth more than the individual parts. Strategies Bookend the introduction:  Bookending it is meant to bring the reader full-circle. If you begin by describing a scenario, you can end with the same scenario as proof tha...

Writing the personal essay

What are you the tiny master of?  The New York Times (You have access to this!) These are personal essays from college students published in the NYTimes.  1. Read some short essays and think about how and why they "work".  2. Find some idea about the state of women that resonances with you. 3. Puke on the page and look for a moment that you would like to expand on. Here are the pitfalls to look out for in the personal essay.  Make a list of at least 10 things that you're interested in, preoccupied with, or obsessed with. You can include anything on this list, no matter how big or small. You can be silly or serious, ridiculous or sublime. Anything goes. (Feel free to share your list below if you'd like.) Make a list of at least 10 things that you know. What do you know? Don’t overthink this. You know more than you think you do. You know how to do things. You know what you believe. You know what memories you have. You know things about other p...
