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 was a great experience. The panels were informative and the readings were entertaining. Of course I got Brochitis and coughed through the entire weekend, but all in all it was a great time.

P.S. Does anyone know where I can get some quality skunk

I'm sure you'll be able to find plenty of skunk in this fine city of ours, sir.
