Create Writerly Practices DB posts

This activity is designed to help encourage you to both recognize the parts of your writing process that work for you. Not all writerly practices work for every person. Every writer is unique. Throughout this course, you’re going to post about the different writerly practices you’re engaging in to help you draft this essay.

Directions

Look at the examples of Writerly Practices below and choose one to write about. For each Writerly Practice Discussion Board, you need to write about a different kind of practice you’re trying out.

Post a 100-250 word explanation of a Writerly Practice you are using.

Respond to two classmates’ postings, explaining

oWhat you found valuable in their postings

oHow they could expand or alter their writerly practices to be more useful

oWhat your experiences have been with the writerly practice they wrote about

Writerly Practices

How do you go about generating idea? Do you make a word cluster, read a lot on the topic, doodle, stare at the wall, just start writing?

Reflect on a discussion you had about your topic or paper with another person. Transcribe that discussion and explain how it helped your process with writing this essay.

Describe how you create space for your writing. How do you create an environment or setting that helps you work through a piece of writing? How specifically does that environment help you? Your writing environment could include

oLocation (bedroom, coffee shop, library, etc.)

oSound (music, silence, tv, etc.)

oBeverage (coffee, tea, water, etc.)

oActivity (going on a run or walk, taking a shower, brushing your teeth, petting your dog or cat, etc.)

Explain what you do when you’re feeling stuck with your writing. What do you do that helps you move forward?

Anything else relevant to your writing process!
