Word Pirates

Last night, the Word Pirates did a critique of our personal essays. We got through all 8 essays and even managed to fit in a reading of Sarah Vowell’s essay The First Thanksgiving, for inspiration.

Next, we are going to edit the essays based on the criticisms. On September 20, we will have a second critique on them. They should be close to finished by then, and we can get down to the nitty-gritty.

Here’s the schedule for upcoming meetings:

• August 16
• September 6
• September 20
• October 4
• October 18
• November 1
• November 15
• December 6
