(I know you did it for yourself, too.) Your energy and resolve and example provide a needed goad for me, when I just don't feel like it. Thanks. Will – thanks for pouring it out on the page for us.

Worked even for reluctant writers. Such a release - I'm sure it was good for our mental health! I’m homesick now for the classes where we freewrote using Goldberg’s advice.

I love to free write every day. I've been keeping a "journal" for years and it's basically always stream of consciousness writing. I never gave it much thought that I was actually developing my creative side. As a matter of fact, I have often written "why am I writing this drivel everyday?" Glad to find that I am benefiting from the mind exercises. As I write day to day, and after reading all the incredible blogs out there, I am starting to get a nagging sensation that just won't quit - I need to start a blog of my own..... just for the sake of communication and self expression in my many interests. Your workshops are wonderful. Thanks for a great blog. Keep up the good work. Will, I had to laugh when I read this entry. I love to free write every day.

Great post and huge fan of her work. The signs of football on TV have officially marked the end of my summer. Feeling very much the same way!

SLA teachers would love to have you guest teach any time you get the teaching bug. Loved the free write, I might have to do it myself... I had a great writing book that called it "Ribe Tuckus." Sit in your seat and write. Dude… SLA teachers would love to have you guest teach any time you get the teaching bug.
