5-5:10pm: Introduction, settle in. How’s the writing going? Have you touched your journal?
5:10-5:30pm: Questions about last class, the semester, the syllabus?
FOR TONIGHT’S PAGE: This experience in English 5 will decline for you if you excessively deliberate, rather than ACTUATE. Just move and create, contribute…
5:30-5:55pm: What did you choose to write about, and why? How did the writing start? How long did it take you? Did you learn anything about writing, your writing style and way?
5:55-6:20: Jenny Lawson…. What did you find? Have you started reading? Do you have expectations? Why, and what are they? If if not, what can you tell about her from your research?
6:20-6:30pm: Close…. What’s in your notes?
ASSIGNMENT: Read the first three chapters in Lawson’s book. Write and your journal and prepare to share ideas next class. Suggested…. Focus on her writing style, her voice, tone, attitude, what you think she wants us to do or how you think she wants us to react.

I gardening under giant redwoods, beside a pond, with horses neighing and birds calling. The sun was bright and the wind was cold and sharp. I thought to myself that there is no other place I wanted to be than there.
Then I freaked out because I forgot to write the two pages but whipped through it in an hour still in my gardening clothes and dirty from the day. All in all. Impressed with myself.

Hello. I feel wonderful. How do you DO? I have a mocha coffee from Acre sustaining me right now. Ideal writing is pending. I find myself being a little rusty for some reason. I don’t know why but I need to cut it out immediately and not make things more difficult than they should be. Too many systems can be overwhelming and I have writing in three different places. I think I need to condense.

I like to think of all writing and reading as a study in finding your true voice. With writing, you can be as precise as you choose to spend time on, or you can fervently fill a blank space with words, passion, and truth. Both are valid asf.
