Day 32 - Process

We talked about the creative process.

• You don't finish a painting with one stroke.
• You don't cut up a tree with one swing.
• You don't grow up overnight.

Why would writing be any different?

We pushed ourselves to be patient. To come up with multiple possibilities.
WP#15: Still Thinking About You

Side note: So many students are late or absent every day, that this class feels like advanced attendance taking. 

Homework:
Record yourself reading something you wrote.
Upload it to your blog.
We'll have a video slam next time.

Project #2 is due 4/17. If you want to submit to the WritersParis Film Festival (due by the night before), it will count toward your Project #2 (and it will be seen in A1, A2, and A4: more views!).

Performance Video (a video of you, and perhaps others, reading YOUR words): due 4/23.

We held our 8th Mini-Slam (featuring AndraLee, River, and Roah).
