We're All Writers Here #SOL16



Found Poem from 2/8 #twtblog Twitter chat 
on "Discovering the Writer's Life"


We're All Writers Here

We're all writers here. 
Real life is a treasure chest 
But I know the self-doubt
that leaves a writer 
staring at empty pages.


Be the chief collector. 
Be constantly the lead collector of ideas
 from our own and our shared lives.
We can�t ask students to do 
what we aren�t willing to LIVE.

Notice, notice, notice. 
You�re writing even when you�re not writing
Live your life with "wide awake eyes" 
Ideas are everywhere!

Our lives that are write-worthy

Be blown away by stories you have to tell
You have to feel it inside--
the story (or poem) you want to tell.

Your writing can serve a bigger cause

Ignore the voice that says: 
"This has been said before." 
You have to own it and say:
 "Well, I've never written about it.."

We're all writers here.
