The Writing Center Paper
7 February, 2008, 3:18 pm
Filed under: General

    I sent out a message on Facebook but I’m sending out another one. Megan and I came up with this idea of writing a paper based on what we think goes in a good paper. We want everybody to be involved as much as you can which is why the things we wanted in it are easily contributive.  As of now, my motto for it is “unstructured but quality” which is definitely “not a slap” at the Varsity News.

We want to have fun and talk about things that matter, maybe even start up something new like a new paper. We need a title for the paper and Megan came up with the idea of using false names but something that would be able to be figured out by people if they really wanted to know so maybe combining names of the people on your wall and using that to write articles. Once we have a name we’ll also create a new blog so that people can post what they think and leave comments and all that (Varsity News don’t have a blog).

So think about it and what you may want to write, definitely check the board in the Writing Center because there are alot of things on it concerning the paper. If we all write that’s 6 writers and we can even open the idea to honorary writing center tutors, amy and megan tonjes- megan said she will.

This will be so much fun.

The paper sounds great. I don’t want to interfere, so let me know when you want any input. (I’m in favor of real names, for instance, but I am also in favor of the “fun” part.) If any of you wants to talk about the writing of news stories, we can do that too. There is a method to it, and it is observable in most dailies, and not observable in the VN. And … D’Marco said he wanted to keep notes in a notebook, and I plan to find a few good ones in case they help.
