You have to get through about a 15 second ad at the beginning. An author shares her ideas about what to do when you have writer's block.

Words That are Speaking to Me......

Have you been there before? You read something and it jars a memory, gives you a warm feeling, reminds you of a sad time? You don't want to forget those words! I read the blog by Two Writing Sisters this morning about words that speak to you. I'm now adding 'Words That are Speaking to Me' as a mini lesson and sub-title for my student's Writer's Notebooks, and mine as well! I can't wait to see which words are speaking to my students. :)
