Editor's Notes

  • #5 Would like auto hyperlink?
  • #10 this is what kids feel about writing in school if can find little kid total bored about writing even better -- kindergartener bored
  • #12 Ttansition slide – “j font”
  • #13 J font

  • #27 MAKE ALBERT PRETTY. defines an aspect of who you are as a writer. defines how you are going to get there, your techniques -- but most importantly who you are. It’s your past present and future as a writer.
  • #28 letters of introduction (optional slide) being able to introduce yourself the most important thing you need to know about me is that I write. I write for lots of different reasons, about many things. I call this the writing territories. The audiences that could be potential for my writing. The writing territory is more than the idea bank.
  • #29 terriorites are ultimately a profile of who you are as a writer. Help you to see yourself. Not just the topics but who you are and how others see you. What you’re about. What your voice will contribute. It gives other writers a window into who you are. Not just to be your audience, but to support you. If you use this technique then we are really a community. (blog categories are sort of like writing territories. An embodiment of what you value. What you believe your voice will add to. Gives a place to go when trying to figure out what to write next. An idea bank that reminds me, “oh yeah -- that’s what I want to do with my voice.” The idea notebook helps me jot down those ideas. The hardest thing about being a good writer, sometimes I look at a blank page, I don’t know where to start. (model with kids on how to overcome it)
