Each student will be responsible for submitting, for class discussion, at least two pieces of new fiction, to a maximum length of 10 pages each, or, with permission, one or more pieces of new fiction and one major rewrite. Exercises will be assigned both for spontaneous writing in class, and for submission the following week.
