Now, onto the tips...

There's just something about the balance of details listed in groups of three. Learn more about this writing craft move in "Balance Writing with the Power of Three," part of the Teach Write Writer's Toolkit Series.
Do you have students who moan and groan when you say, “We are going to write today.” Then check out “Students: ‘Why Do We Write?’” and Jim Farr’s thoughts on teaching writing and student motivation.
Your Writing Community Awaits:

Are you critical of your own writing? Do you doubt your own story? This month’s Teach Write FaceBook chat is about facing our writing fears, and “When You Doubt Your Writing” may be the article you need to read to overcome them.
Facing Your Writing Fears
You are invited to join me on Monday, October 26 at 7:00 pm Eastern for a special conversation about writing fears. You'll learn what some of the most common writing fears are as well as how to push past them. Registration is FREE and can be found here.
