What is a Writer's Notebook

From the author of one of our texts

A Writer's Notebook is:


How To Use Your Writer's Notebook
Use your notebook to breathe in the world around you. You can write about:
1) What amazes/surprises/anger you
2) What you wonder about
3) What you notice
4) "Seed Ideas" or "Triggers" to generate stories or poems
5) Small details that intrigue you
6) Snatches of talk you overhear
7) Memories
8) Lists
9) Photos, articles, ticket stubs or other artifacts
10) Your own sketches, drawings or doodles
11) Quotes or inspiring passages from books or poems

wwsksThis is one of the texts we are using in class. The author is a big proponent of Writers Notebooks. This blog is a Writers Notebook of sorts and I created it as such for my Reading/Writing Connections class I'm taking at Regis University.
