Expectations of Ampersand

Post your personal goals, hopes and ambitions for your class' production & publication of this book.

For this year's issue of Ampersand, I had a few expectations of it and a few expectations of what is going to go into the production of the book.

First and foremost i expect it to be a highly anticipated project from not only students but also staff and other people interested in purchasing one. I expect that creating the book is going to be rather confusing because there is no set idea for criteria that is going into the book. For example: we are aloud to put it pretty much any form of writing into the book. Because of that i imagine that its going to be quite hard to make flow well with all the different topics and all the different forms of writing.

In the production of the book, since its composed of mainly all writing. I know that the actual writing of everyones piece of writing thats going into the book isn't going to be the long or hard part of the project. The hard part is going to be revision and insuring that the quality of each piece of writing is high enough for outside eyes to see.

I hope this book becomes ever more of a hit than it was last year. Its a tough goal to beat but i think that this year with a lot of hard work and dedication can pull it off. Me personally, I'm not really sure what to expect. My writing isn't exactly top of the line writing. I'm not good at making all of my ideas flow into a good story and make sense. For that single reason, I fear for the quality of my section of Ampersand.
