Having the opportunity to hear Stacey Shubitz speak about writing was fantastic. She was difinitely inspiring. Sharing her slice of life writing was the perfect way to thing about writing everyday. The more posts she shared, the more I couldn't wait to get started. Her stories were the everyday stuff that life is made of and I am definitely thinking that it would be a great way to allow me to write more and write everyday. Since finishing the course, I have been researching and really working to design my inquiry project. Hopefully in the next week or two, I can get started with my own slice of life writing.
Packaging the first presentation with the opportunity to be in workshop with Lynne Dorfman, could it get any better. Lynne brought forth so many different techniques with which to share with our students and liven the writing workshop. All the things I learned from her that day will be exciting to use throughout the year. Lynne and Stacey's passion filled the soul with the energy for writing and leading a writer's life.
In the end. the day was filled with fantastic information about the use of a writer's notebook and I so enjoyed spending that day writing and writing with other authors! At the end of the day, it felt so up lifting, so refreshing. When the day ended, I longed for more. Wishing the day had gone slower or been longer. Weeks later, I am still feeling lucky to have had the opportunity to hear these authors and share the room with their writing and thinking.
