[Insert enthusiastic title here.]

So of course it's only the beginning of the semester, and I already personally have writer's block. I have been sitting here for a few minutes now, staring at the ghostly glow of my computer and trying desperately to come up with a clever yet welcoming title for this blog post -- something that in only a few words would convey a sense of excitement for the semester ahead. Then I realized.... I have the whole semester to come up with something to say! Because this course is all about the process of composition and all of the necessary editing and rewriting that goes into the best written work, I'll just let myself leave this post untitled and come back to it later on.

Anyway, welcome to the course. This blog will function as our course homepage, so please add it as a bookmark and check back often for reading assignments, writing prompts, announcements, and anything else that seems relevant or interesting to address.
