I ask my students to self-evaluate. To reflect. To celebrate their growth. Time for me to do the same on the last day of the March Slice of Life Challenge.
For the record, at this moment, this is how I see writing.
I call myself a writer. Sometimes.
I am a better writer today than I was yesterday.
Everything I write isn’t better than the last thing I wrote.
My sentences are less complicated.
I used to love semicolons. Now I’m crazy about periods. Maybe it’s a phase.
Structure fascinate me.
Sentences move in ways that surprise me.
How writing ends is usually not how it begins.
The shortest pieces often take the most time.
I worry that I keep saying the same thing.
I worry that I have nothing to say.
I’m more comfortable with dialogue.
I’m less fearful of poetry.
I hear my mom in my writing.
I found dear friends by writing.
Crying when I write happens. Out of nowhere.
Being bold and honest in writing is a worthy challenge.
Feedback and audience matters.
Writing changes everything.
