Writers Workshop - SC State University

As a Christmas present, Robin Gardener Barton and my boys gave me a writers workshop through the continuing education program at SC State University.

I love being a part of SC State, for it connects me to an Historically Black College and University and helps me integrate into and learn from their community of scholars and writers.

I thought you might like to see into my writing process as I work through this workshop.

This is a writing activity called LOOPING.

In this activity, you set a timer and free write for 5 minutes.

You find 4 words that are meaningful to you from your free write.

Then you free write for 5 minutes each about those 4 words.

The hope is that you can build a story from those 4 meaningful words.

They’re a foundation for a longer work.

My 4 words are border, dust, flip-flops and stethoscope. 

I’m looking forward to seeing what I can build from them.
