I didn't realize I'd be taking a mini-blogging-vacation. But don't worry -- I'll get back on track next week. In the meantime -- thanks for the emails telling me you missed me. AND -- it was a mistake to ask about what I do in a writing class...
This is a picture from several years ago. Dr. Roald Tweet. A distinguished professor at Augustana University -- he taught me how to write. I've taken many classes from him over the years...and the recycled t-shirt I'm wearing says, "How Can You Go Wrong If You Write?"
My favorite teacher at this year's conference was Christiana Langenberg. She gave us this 3-word sentence assignment. Take a period of your llife and condense it down. Try to get five years on one page -- using ONLY THREE WORD sentences.
Being an over-achiever -- I did ten years...
I'm only going to leave this up for a day or so...and mostly I'm posting it for Sandy...THANKS FOR ASKING, BABE...
