We covered all ten of Reilly's Rules for Excellent Writing today in class. You can find these rules in the Best American Sports Writing anthology which is in our library. Clear and to the point, Reilly is a professional in his field so why not follow his advice?
Tonight: let an idea find you! Reilly says the best ideas are right in front of you. What do you want to write about? Who will you interview? What unique angle can you take? Find the best details. Imitate the essays in your text.
This essay will be due Friday, Jan. 7, 2011. You are brilliant poets and short story writers so I am really curious to see what you will devise. We will also ensure that you get these babies published in the new year.
Arrive ready to write a first draft in class tomorrow. Bring laptops if you have them.
