The Good Patrons of 750 Words

A Note of Inspiration from Word Skwirl

Dear Buster and Kelliane, Because of my longtime relationship with you all @ 750words, I have students do morning pages. I do not collect them, though I do grade their weekly reflection about writing practice and responses to classmates posted to a discussion board. During the pandemic this assignment has provided a lifeline for many of us. Among the first week’s posts in an ENG 102 class, I found this gem: “With Morning Pages, instead of writing about something specific while trying to ignore distracting thoughts, we get to be less structured and accept whatever comes to mind. Thanks to this exercise, I have found that most of the time writing them down helps me to release them for good and stay more focused” (PA).
