A Statement, a Question, & an Etc.



A Statement
 
“Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.” Oscar Wilde

I love this quote; I use it as an assignment prompt for my teen writing classes. It's always interesting to see how students interpret and use it.

It's one of those thoughts that can be taken at face value, or can be taken apart, and dug into. Which leads me to...

A Question

How does your writing reflect "yourself"?



 
Etc.

Coffeehouse for Writers' new sessions begin April 18. Click here to check out the offerings. Lots of great stuff there, fiction, nonfiction, the works! I'll be teaching Basic Boot Camp for Writers, a workshop loaded with writing refreshers, exercises, and stretchers. Just in case you wanted to know...:)

So Tell Me

What makes your writing authentically you?

Blessings,
Karen
