Hmmm...what have I learned about myself as a writer/blogger?
Over the past 31 days of "slicing" about Eli, I've learned:
-3-year olds can provide a limitless supply of potential writing material...as long as you tape record them constantly, or follow them around with a notepad saying, "Could you repeat that for Mommy?"
-Writing definitely requires a bit of planning/prewriting/and thinking. It's what I ask my students to do on a daily basis. (Talk about getting a taste of my own medicine!)
-When I knew I was going to have to come up with a daily writing topic, I found myself brainstorming possible ideas the night before...mostly when I should have been sleeping, of course. As I always say to my students, "You're thinking like a writer!" :)
***Thank you, SOL Challenge, for forcing...err, coercing...um, encouraging me (that sounds a bit more positive) into blogging about my sweetie pie little boy. It's been fun, and I plan to continue the blog, although perhaps not on a daily basis.
Thanks also to Ruth, who introduced me to the challenge in the first place. :)
You're welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it too, and think you are so right about "getting a taste of my own medicine". It'll be fun to keep reading about little guy, even if it's not on a daily basis--and when he grows up, he'll love that you did this!
I think you will be so glad that you wrote about your little boy these past days. What a wonderful gift to give to yourself and maybe even your son one day. I wish I had written more about my kids when they were small.
