Writing for School

Hey everyone.
So, first of all I really want to apologize for not keeping up with this blog. My life has been crazy! Unfortunately, I can not make a promise that I wont be making this apology again sometime. But at least I still remember the fact that I have a blog. Speaking of blogs some friends and I started a blog about climate change, check it out: vermontclimateclub@blogspot.com

Back on subject: writing. So,  I have been talking a lot about inspiration, but today in this post, I'm going to be talking about writing for school. Often, writing for school is accompanied with reading. Often with these assignments there is a criteria sheet, or something. Before you even start reading, review these guidelines so you can be prepared to look for certain things in the text. Then do the reading as soon as possible. Then write. If there are multiple choices for assignments, don't just immediately go for the simplistic easiest one, challenge yourself!! Other tips? Have fun with it. Often it is hard to imagine having fun doing writing homework, but if you truly are a writer, you can find joy in any kind of writing. Think about all that you are learning. If you push yourself, your brain will grow.

Good luck, and happy writing!
