Tess was in my lap as I wrote the last post, and she was asking me all sorts of questions like “Where do you find stuff to write about?” and “Why do you do this, daddy?” and “Why is Tucker (her brother) such a pain?” The first two were easy.

Anyway, she’s not in my lap any longer. She’s fired up her Blogger account and is writing about her grandma being here, Halloween, and who knows what else. Can’t wait to read it…

Ok…so this has been one of those linky mornings where something starts me off and I get about 20 clicks down a random path when all of a sudden I land on some pretty cool stuff. Like this concept of “flicktion” where you post pictures to flickr and then write a few fictitious paragraphs to go with it. What a great concept, and I’m sure creative writing teachers will think so too. Students take a picture, write the story, post it, have people comment back about it, add to it… Or, have the teacher post the picture and then have students start a collaborative narrative about it, one paragraph at a time. Or…

And talk about another example of the read/write Web expanding. Perfect for my workshop this weekend. I absolutely love this stuff…have I mentioned that before???

(I found this via Foe Romeo by the way, who along with Josie Fraser have been added to my roll at Bloglines.)
