Carla’s Writing Group Meets
Next, Carla met with her writing group. A transcript of the portion of
the session dealing with Carla’s outline appears here.
Transcript: Writing Group Session, Monday, October 3, 2:10 P.M.
Brenda: Okay, who wants to go first? Antonio?
Antonio: Not me. Carla?
Carla: Well, I just brought an outline. I’ll go first. (Carla passes
out copies of her outline, and the group reads the outline.)
Antonio: I like it. I like the way you include past, present, and
future. It gives the outline a good flow.
Carla: You’re just saying that because I got you off the hook. You
didn’t have to go first. (Laughter.)
Thanh: I like the chronological order, too. But there’s one thing I
don’t see. Where’s the emotion?
Carla: What?
Thanh: Remember the assignment said to connect the role to the
emotions it made us feel?
