Welcome, and what this blog is...

During Spring 2008, creative writing students from Community College of Philadelphia attended the AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) Conference in New York, supported by a college Mini-Grant. Students were asked to keep a journal of their time there, so what you have here are their thoughts and reflections on this crash course into the world of literary arts. At the conference, the students not only attended lectures and workshops, they also navigated a networking scene of more than 8,000 attendees, which ranged from venerable literary lions to pretentious wannabes, as well as every gradation in between. Hopefully the sage advice they received will help them avoid pitfalls and on the path of becoming published writers. One thing's for sure... they now know the hard work they're in for!

AWP Sickness Not my fault

Tiff maybe, because she was dreaming about me, but the rest of you. . . Keisha I didn't even see you. You got sick from the other wretched people of AWP. I am not guilty. Since i Didn't get yous sick; You must acquit

Have you ever read the "Andromeda Strain"? I think you had a mini-version going on, my man. :-)
