Due Dates

What do you say that we all (by that I mean you all--that's teacher speak. It'll wear off.) post something that we're writing by each Friday? Until we figure out the google docs angle (jump in, anyone. Tom's little typing fingers are going to wear out), let's just cut and paste SOMETHING, anything. A sentence fragment. I don't care what. Just getting a Friday deadline in our heads. If you're writing nothing then put up what your routine MIGHT be, and what your pen and paper look like. You think I'm kidding? The notebook that you can carry around with you counts as work. So go to a bookstore and find one. Some people like to go fancy (I'm more this way. I spent too many years as a mother writing on the back of my kids' muffin wrappers and then throwing them away--I need the solidity of those black books I can later write the composition dates on the spines of. Don't read that sentence over, please. You'll sprain the grammar part of your brain.), some people like to have the grungiest spiral notebook with Sponge Bob on the cover. Try both. Just whatever. But post about it, because that gets your thinking about writing's place in your life through a little everyday thing. And that's where the work gets done--in the humble, almost invisible decisions.

Looking forward,
