Struggle City for Writers

Pause.

Happy Friday.

With a neighbor, I want you to talk about what you personally are having trouble with regarding the writing of your story. Don't act like there isn't at least one thing that's giving you a hard time. It can be something small.

For instance, when I practice creative writing, I always struggle with starting and continuing. I'll doubt my work and start over. Several times. It's a terrible habit that eventually leads to producing something mediocre at the last minute. 

Everyone in the room is going to share a struggle with their story. So, don't be shy (as if). This is full class discussion. Prepare yourselves. 

Of course, we'll talk about ways to get through those struggles and you'll have a good deal of writing time. Remember that these stories are due on Thursday and that really, you only have this class and Tuesday's class to get them finished and perfected. I hate last-second stuff, it's uncomfortable and makes me late for dinner. I don't like being late for dinner. I don't like being uncomfortable. 

Important notes:

You're not done. Don't hand me your story and tell me it's done. If you want me to go over it and shred it with my pen, that's fine. The feedback I give you is going to turn up as the drafting process continues, so be ye warned. 

Due: The beginning of class on April 10th, 2014. That's a Thursday. At the beginning of class.

Heading:
Your Name
My Name (Mr. Ludwig)
Class Name (Performance, Word, and Text)
Due Date (4/10/2014)

Other than that...

Have a fab weekend.
