Writing from a Vulnerable Place … and Writers Camp

[jeannineatkins]

This summer, teachers and librarians who want to experience the joys, anxieties, and muddles that their students experience when writing can find inspiration and support through Teacher’s Write! A Virtual Summer Writing Camp begun by Kate Messner. I met Kate through blogging, so know first hand how the people we find on our computers can help

I always find my best writing comes from those vulnerable places. Then I have to decide if I'm willing to share!

[jeannineatkins]

I'm with you, Dori! Sometimes sharing is not the point. But you have to get it down before you can decide.

But as creative writers, we want to connect more than instruct, and we may do that most when writing from places we don’t necessarily show when we’re wearing good clothes and loud shoes.
Oh, how I love that line! That is exactly why I signed up...and what I hope for.

Tara, I know you will be kicking off your shoes! (though I also know you're one of those great teachers who already shares so much of herself)
