Here you are. The weather is getting warmer, the spring trees are budding, and graduation is around the corner. Yes, Spring Break is over, but you have another break coming soon, and summer looming after that. What a perfect moment in time and space--a calm little pocket of your lives--when you can contemplate the word around you, the world within you, and capture that contemplation in your writing.Creative writing class will consist merely of a list of writing assignments; it will celebrate your creative soul in a variety of ways. We will write and discuss, view and respond, create and extol. And at the end of our work together, you will all have impressive portfolios to share with your families, inspire your friends, and continue for yourselves.
I am so excited to have you in class!
Now--let's get started.
One of the biggest blocks to creativity is stress. This is why writers have some of their best ideas while on vacation, or lying in bed, or relaxing in a bath. Your brain needs rest in order to do the work of creating.
So you need to break up with Stress. Do that now, in one of these forms:
--A break-up letter
--A poem
--An e-mail
--A text message exchange
Post this on your new blog, and be ready to share!
