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
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.
from our own and our shared lives.
We can�t ask students to do
what we aren�t willing to LIVE.
what we aren�t willing to LIVE.
Notice, notice, notice.
You�re writing even when you�re not writing
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.
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.."
"This has been said before."
You have to own it and say:
"Well, I've never written about it.."
We're all writers here.
