Meeting February 17th, 2011: The Reluctant i

Today's meeting went along swimmingly. Thanks to all who showed up, wrote, shared their work and ideas! The first prompte we wrote to was,"The Reluctant I," which is where you must write for 7 to 10 minutes from the first-person narrative without using the words, I, My, Me, or Myself. The idea is to create the feeling of narration, personality, and intimacy, but without the emphasis on the self. Writers could use any thing, person, or animal as their narrator as long as they refrained from using typical "self" words. I encourage you all to try this type of writing.
