So a few weeks back I started wondering, if I wanted to keep reading some of these stories and see how they would turn out, how would I do it when the class was over. To tell you the truth I am very interested in seeing how everyone's stories turn out. Even if some people choose not to pursue the goal of getting published.
I like the class and I find my classmates to be enjoyable. Sure we don't all have the same taste in what we like to read. I mean I read books on math, engineering and physics (I am pretty dull at times I know). But the truth is I like doing the peer reviews, and I enjoy reading other styles of writing, and I actually enjoy other peoples input into what I am doing. I mean I still may not take the advice, but it is nice to know what others might think and see how they react to the things I put to text.
So I put up a poll to see who would be interested in keeping up with each other once the class was over. And I thought that maybe since posting it in a public forum would not be the wisest of ideas, I thought a private free forum would be a good way to go. Like a yuku board or something.
I imagine that most everyone would appreciate not having a set schedule of when to post things, as it is not a class, and let's face it, we all got real world shit to deal with. Time is a valuable commodity and once we use it, we never get it back. So I would say an informal environment would be in some order and what have you, but that would only be if anyone else was interested in doing it.
Tell me what you think.
Will,
ReplyDeleteI'm normally reading textbooks too. My favorite reading is normally real life history stories, so my reading is pretty dull. I like your idea of keeping up with each other after class is over. I would like to see how everyone's story progresses.
