Word to the Wise

Tips and hints from established authors, teachers and others on the art of writing

3. Judy Reeves, author of Writing Alone, Writing Together

Every writer has his or her own reasons and motives for putting words on paper, but not all of us know what they are. For this exploration, let your inner writer have a say. Don't think of reasons why you write, just begin a ten-minute freewriting with, ''I write because...'' and remember to trust your pen and the process.
