Write Now

I remember first hearing a reference to “blog” on MPR several years ago.� Some minor Washington staffer was blogging, revealing inside information about Washington somebodies, and everyone was reading it…everyone but me, of course.

Several years later, I’m�writing my innagural blog entry.� Few will read it because I have no valuable insider information of interest (though I could spread some gossip my daughters bring home from school).� However, I expect to generate some readership among my composition students.� In fact, I’ll make it required reading for them.� I’m going to make them blog, too.� All of us blogging together in the name of writing better, there probably is no sound pedagogical precedent for it, but one of my colleagues has been doing it for awhile, and it works great.� Wish me luck!
