Everyone Who Likes Christmas (Say, “I Do!”)
Anyone who has heard me speak about writing knows that I’m very big on the concept of free-writing in a journal. Write without thinking too much about it. Write without censoring yourself. Write and write and write without worrying about whether it will turn into a story or a chapter or anything. When I conduct creative writing classes, I often engage my students in a timed free-writing exercise, during which everyone in the class–myself included–writes and writes on a given subject.
Yesterday, when I was scanning pages from the next notebook to be used for the (retro)blog, I came across this in-class writing exercise. The topic was: Winter. I wrote about my participation in the Rosie’s ‘Robics Christmas Spectacular. Note the lapses in grammar, spelling and coherence.
