Class 5: Writing Field Notes, Interviews, and Stories

from 5.5.08

pg 116: writing art vs science - art is a way "to convey the meanings you attached to the experience."

pg 117: "Whether you're writing during, immediately after, or mauch later, I recommend that you start by taking retrospective field notes on your life." I can do that.

"Annie Dillard says that if you value your memory, don't write a memoir."

pg 126: "the worst offense is omitting details that don't fit or playing down their importance."
