I'm taking an advanced creative writing course, again! Expect this time I'll be signed up as an independent study rather than class, but I'll still go to the actual class like a normal student. It's writer's choice, so I think I'll try my hand at writing something more expansive than a story. Perhaps a novella.

The professor teaching the course is Dr. Edward Allen, who most recently wrote a novel in limericks and also had one of his novels recently adapted for film.

I'm excited about slamming tonight with two new poems: "Google as a Transitive Verb" and "Slam Haiku." If I win, I'll get to read another poem; so, I'll probably recite my short & sweet "Waking Up" should the judges decide to award me the winning points.

Then, tomorrow morning I'll be reading "The Old Man's Rocking Chair is Moving Slower, Boy" for the John R. Milton Writers' Conference. I was interviewed by the student newspaper about the event. You can read about it in the blog area of my new website.  http://regreene.webs.com/apps/blog/

I wrote a new story tonight called "Beyond the Blue Curtain." Actually, I started it last night, but only got a couple of paragraphs done. I finished it tonight and am going to have it all typed up by Wednesday at noon. Why such a precise time? Because, I have a take-home midterm test due and this story is my reply to one of the questions about the "Tragedy of the Commons" in our life. I hope the professor appreciates it; although, he very well may not accept it at all. But, at least it isn't one of my essays that are impossible to really get without a background in critical anthropological/literary theory. For that, he may be happy.

Write on.
