Writing is a habit we must cultivate and persist with. Some days the words pour out onto the page and some days we have to push them out- write anyway. The link to our inexperienced student writers is both powerful and important to acknowledge. Confidence grows with practice. Having the model of an adult writer who persists is the very best thing the young writer can hope for. You have stirred some thoughts here in this post. I am indebted to you as a fellow writer.Alan j Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077195459186935005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752544695499885154.post-81892158863611810382017-03-22T17:55:23.420-04:002017-03-22T17:55:23.420-04:00My students have written about not writing, but no...My students have written about not writing, but none so eloquently as Cooper.

We get frustrated too but we write anyways.

I love reading your words, and I always come away inspired or take away a new thought or idea to try in my classroom.
