The Class I Teach Myself
The big, big project is to understand myself and you and the universe. This is a self-study program, so I thought I would study myself, my language, the stories I tell about myself, the stories I tell about you, and the story that stories tell about themselves.
The immediate impetus is a class I am giving myself on metafiction at San Francisco State University for a masters in literature under the guidance of Dr. Geoffrey Green, professor, writer of metafiction and Don Juan. The use of a blog was determined by a second class I am taking (in the meat) from Kory Lawson Ching, “Teaching Writing in the Digital Age.” (I am very grateful that his class gave me the push to start writing this blog which has broken through decades of writers block.) My blog will be informed by another class I am taking, “Narrative Theory,” taught by Sarah Hackenberg. Since my long term goal is to teach literature and writing, I will be reflecting on how I teach myself and how I read and how I learn and how I write and how I might teach writing, therefore this is a metablog on a metaclass on metafiction.
Feel free to join me by commenting, or even better, hop on the Silly-Bus and read something by the due date so that you can add comments or meet with me and discuss the books. Please join in the conversation I am having with myself!
