The first steps to becoming a writer sound easy to me--read and write. I always have a stack of books waiting to be read, and I spend a lot of time with words. Here's to making time to do both daily this summer!
I have been the best at keeping a journal/writer's notebook when I write with my students. In the last two years, I have gotten away from daily journaling. I had fun looking at the Eco Jot Notebooks Kate suggested. I picked one out for me and two for the girls. We'll see how carrying it with me works. Hopefully, I can also teach them young to get into the habit. I'm collecting my writing in response to Teachers Write! in this blog. So I am also wondering if technology would work for me as a journal. My habits might change this summer, but more often than not, I have a phone or device with me instead of a journal and pencil.
Why is writing important to me? Writing is important to me because it gives me a chance to think about what to think and records thoughts and ideas so I can remember them.
