In perusing the list of blogs I review regularly, I noticed a post from “Metawriting,” a blog I’ve recently added to my subscription list, written by Deanna Mascle. The post, “How to Make a Writer,” struck a resonant chord in me, particularly as a new semester begins. She posts her “easy formula” for making writers: “Write…Read…Reflect…Community….” Read this post and respond. If you do so on our class blog, or on your own blog, then you have followed the formula!
