JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Everyday I Write the Book" by Elvis Costello & The Attractions]
Describe
a moment from your day as if it were a scene in a movie or television
show. What happened? When/where did it happen? Who was present? What
did you/they say?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Now that you have a CC license on your blog, let's talk about what you're licensing/protecting
3. Building the perfect beast: from words to sentences to paragraphs...
POST:
Choose
one of your blog posts, or start a new one. In an introductory
sentence, explain to your reader that today you are writing with the
intention of being understood. Then, care about every word with your
purpose in mind: make yourself understood. See if your revision or new
post does the job more effectively. Did you get feedback from others?
How do you feel about your writing today? (title: I CARE ABOUT YOUR
UNDERSTANDING)
