Teach Writing as a Process Not a Product (Don Murray)
"Year after year the student shudders under a barrage of criticism, much of it brilliant, some of it stupid, and all of it irrelevant." -Don Murray "The students are individuals who must explore the writing process in their own way, some fast, some slow, whatever it takes for them, within the limits of the course deadlines, to find their own way to their own truth." -Don Murray "A student who clearly understands his purpose is not likely to be trapped by an accidental sequence of ideas, for he will recognize when he is going astray. " -Don Murray The Daily Writing Routines of Great Writers (Maria Popova) "A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper." -E.B. White "You write until you come to a place where you still have your juice and know what will happen next and you stop and try to live through until the next day when you hit it again." -Ernest Hemmingway "I write in spurts. I write when I have to because the pressure builds up and I feel enough confidence that something has matured in my head and I can write it down." Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (Anne Lamott) "Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see only see ass far as the headlights." -E. L. Doctorow "Writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor, because it is about some of our deepest needs: our need to be visible, to be heard, ou need to make since of our lives, to wake up grow and belong." -Ann Lamott "The right words or sentences just do not come pouring out like ticker tape most of the time." -Ann Lamott My Quotes "I express everything better on paper and even tho it can be dramatic, its true." "It depends on the mood and the music, is when you can get a good story out of me." "Writing is theraputic to me. I feel heavy and anxious before the process and relaxed at the end of it."
