How not to write

Here's the link to the Bulwer-Lytton Bad Fiction Writing Contest, which I mentioned in class tonight (it's worth a few laughs): http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/lyttony.htm

You may want to review the definitions of some of the terms I discussed in class tonight:

Cliche
Platitude
Narrative
Stereotype
Trite

On Monday, July 6, we will discuss the material in chapters 2 and 3 of the Research Papers textbook. I will hand back your graded essays and give instructions for the final project.

Have a good holiday weekend (hopefully, it won't be "dark and stormy.")
