A self-portrait of you as a writer

As you think about topics that occupy your thoughts, your memories, and your curiosity, remember that the more complete your writing territories are, the easier it will be to get started. We only scratched the surface in class today. Don't be afraid to explore new ideas, to free write about your ideas, or even to draw up a timeline of major events (personal and historical) that have happened in your lifetime. The more you have, the better choices you'll find, and the easier it will be to find areas of interest to explore.

Be ready to write. I'll be anxious for you to share some of your territories. TGIF!
