5-5:10pm: Hello!! Tell us about your journal and journal writing lately. Any stories? Anything you could turn into a longer work? Say 4-5 pages, ABOUT YOU?
5:10-5:40pm: Samantha Irby’s essay flavor….. tell us about it.
5:40-6pm: What writing does for a reader, for the one writing. But more than that… LIFE. What we want from it, how we get it and if we do then what. All these books we read and that I pick from semester to semester…. LIFE. It’s life we’re reading and exploring. Not a book, not just one person’s take on one day and another. What is the writing of one supposed to do? Can this be taught, or is it just an idea to excavate?
(NOTE: If you’re looking for answers, you’re in the wrong place.)
6-6:20pm: Self-talk… tell us about it. An essay to self, talking self out of and, or, through something. Where you find new thoughts, new assurances for and from SELF… new truth.
6:20-6:30pm…. Leave us with some ideas, thoughts, some encouragement for the night’s page. Think about what you post, it is directed directly at your colleagues. A note from you to them.
ASSIGNMENT: Enjoy the reading, and enjoy your life. Write about both. No page target or limit… just KEEP READING. And, again, I’ll keep saying this… ENJOY.

Self-talk is SO powerful. The words “I AM” have importance in our existence. What you say or write after them, you consequently bring to life. Be instructional with your internal dialogue.

Honestly my writing is just me working through my thoughts and sorting my feelings. Also processing events and formulating opinions by just seeing what my thoughts look like on paper. It helps me see if I’m being close minded.

Just a little thought.. nobody has lived your life. Even though your story might not be as trilling, adventurous or even the extremes. Whatever seems significant to you, it must be. `don’t think about how others perceive you, but how YOU perceive you.
