more thoughts about writing

1. Forget the five paragraph essay. It's what you write for a teacher. In this class, we write for authentic audiences, for authentic reasons--most emphatically NOT just for the teacher.

2. Write more about less. We don't want 3 short paragraphs about nothing--give us one great paragraph about something.

3. Be yourself. Write in your style, in your voice. Tell us about your life.

Most important, remember: Everything written is a work in progress.
