Writing is…

“The Story of the Ugly Duckling”

The Birth…

Writing begins, at times, in a very different manner, sometimes even a very painful manner. Brain block! Where to start? What to write about?

In the crowd…When writing in

a crowd, or even worse yet, for a crowd, I often fear that my writing sticks out.

Then I think of

J.K. Rowling or J.R.R. Tolkien….

Why not be different?

Taking a stand…or a flight!

Then the moment arrives! Yes, I

realize that even though I am

different, I can write!

Accepted or not…here I come!While I may not stand out yet in a crowd, my writing is no longer so unacceptable that I am

thrown aside. My writing style is now meeting the minimum

standards and is read by pleased viewers.

Published!

My writing is a success…I am ready to send

the final product to the

readers…my public!

The End!

Mrs. Gillmore’s Role Now…

To teach,

To lead,

To guide,

To encourage,

…young writers

…like yourself!
