I'll never forget hearing these words as I wrote my (what I thought was awesome) story on that ugly three colored lined paper - yuck!
Writing was about perfection - revisions were just rewriting it more neatly.
But then I wouldn't make the grade I thought I should - or better yet, I would put no time into it and still make an A. Looking back I know those weren't perfect papers nor did I put into it what an A paper probably needed.
What does it take for me to be a good writer?
Talk about rough writing....ha!
Professors in college be like:
I struggled when instructions didn't seem clear to me. I wrote in fear that I wasn't writing what they wanted me to write.
Everything changed when I began journaling on my own
My attitude about writing changed.
Now I feel like I can encourage my students as I write along with them.
I had problems writing to a public audience, though. So I identify with that feeling in my students.
I struggle with being vulnerable. Obviously this guy doesn't! eek!
