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.

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.
