The Courageous Writer

Time is but the stream I go fishing in...

–Henry David Thoreau, Walden
 

     Writing well requires a writer to write with courage, confidence and honesty. Your journal is your place to live fully within yourself as a real and committed writer who practices these ideals. Journal writing is simply a way to give form and substance to your inner thoughts. It is simply a way for you to be completely you—not an expectation driven by academic expectations directed and choreographed by me.

Finding meaning in the little things...

“Sometimes, little things make a big difference...”

― Nino Varsimashvili

     Through better and worse, happy and sad, hilarious and serious, we are all wrapped up and boxed at Fenn School--so we may as well write about it. Thanks for your first efforts at posting on your blog.  Over the next few days, I will take a little trip of my own down 8th Grade Avenue and reward myself with some good reading. You should do the same! I have yet to meet a person who doesnt like a good and sincere comment left on their blog posts.

The First Step

A journey into the world of blogging...

     So you have written a cool journal entry; you have taken that raw material and formed it into an essay with a unifying theme of some sort, a cool beginning paragraph (set the scene & state the theme), split everything else into paragraphs--and maybe even added a conclusion. Hopefully, you proofread it a zillion times and fixed every error you could find.

Now what?
