I'm taking a professional development class, at the school where I teach, through the esteemed Columbia University. It is a class on writing. My favorite!!
One of the BEST things about the Columbia Reading/Writing project is that they teach awesome methods through modeling. So, I get to be a student this week. Naturally, learning about writing I needed to keep a writer's notebook.
My homework tonight: decorate my writer's notebook!!! Apparently it improves your writing and gets creative juices circulating. I added flare!!!
I laughed at this assignment because as a student I would spend days procrastinating my writing assignments. I worked the best under pressure and late, very late at night! The night before my papers were due I would spend an hour or two decorating a cover page before beginning, at times, fifteen page term papers.
I guess all along it was part of my writing process.
Love Always,
