How many hours are you going to spend with them?
It was an hour and a half. Obviously too short a time, but it at least gave them access to those four blogs.
I'm learning to make the argument in everything 45 minutes to a whole day. The subject is infinite, as ever, but we have only finite means to give it presence.
I've been a little absent from blogging for a while. So I have question. Do you offer these workshops to outside faculty? I'd love to attend one. And it would be very close geographically.
It would be great if we could invite you to speak at our campus but the funding is still frozen at this point.
So if you are giving a writing workshop anywhere in the US, please inform me (and everybody) through this blog. I'd really love to attend.
It's for the grad students, fundamentally.
If you want me to come give a talk gratis in Edwardsville, maybe that could perhaps be arranged during Fall of 2012. Money is not important if I can drive there from my house in less than an hour. I could waive my usual honorarium for a fellow blogger.
Really?? That's so nice of you. It would be absolutely lovely. But I get to sit in the first row!! :-) :-)
