Letters to the Editor, Week of January 28, 2020


To the Editor:

Journal workshop inspires writers

This letter is meant to sing the praises of an English class which has helped me and many other students learn how to deal with writer’s block. This course comes in two parts. ENG 260 and 261, does not begin until February, so you still have time to sign up. The students range from beginners to more experienced writers, so anyone can join. The premise of the class is that almost anyone can have writer’s block, and that all of us can find ways to address this struggle. Students are expected to journal privately four times a week, but need never show their journal entries to anyone else. One textbook is chosen by the student, with two or three options to choose from. There are four required papers one to two pages double-spaced, and the first topic is up to the student. Everything is open book, attendance is required, but usually fun. Please consider taking this very important, helpful and life-changing class.
