    Although the clarity of description of the two scenes is unsettling in the extreme, the author, Boyden, has something he wants to say: What do you think it is?

    I am not too sure what the author wants to say but i think it might be something about one person coming into the world and the way another leaves the world. --i would really like to know you thoughts radney.

    My thoughts as I read the story involved shock at the violence and stark reality of unwilling death and also shock at the details of the beginning of life (read: more information than I wanted). I felt uncomfortable (though not in the same way for the two parts of the story), and I became somewhat curious as to how a storyteller could influence my feelings so much.

  • Our kids here at school have just gone to an online edition. And immediately, the buzz around here has been about the RSS feed, subscriptions beyond the immediate school community, and the future of editorial and opinion blogs.
  • And in an age when the pro newspapers are still trying to figure out what's going on, it's great to see kids who already get it.

writing storytelling blocks

  • When you work it right, writer’s block is your secret weapon to becoming a better and more resilient writer. And when your ability to write is what pays the bills, that’s gold.
  • face the fear that any act of writing brings.
  • use writer’s block as a signal to stop and reflect on what you fear and why, because if you don’t acknowledge the fear, you’ll never be able to face it. All it takes to move through fear is facing it, feeling it. Saying to yourself, “Okay, this is scary. But it still needs to be done.”

  • Take a blank sheet of paper and write down a one-line summary of what you think you’re supposed to be writing.
  • Write down all the ideas and opinions about that topic
  • put that page aside because that’s not the one that’s going to turn your block into a weapon. (In fact, it’s the one that will keep you stuck.)
  • Get another blank sheet of paper. Again, write down what you think you should be writing in the center of the page.
  • Dig deep into what you have to say, what you think, and what your opinion is, stripped away from all of those from the first sheet. Put it all out on the page, and take more pages if you need to. Remember, there is no one to judge you and your task is to write without any reference to the ideas or opinions from that first sheet, but write only from within you.
  • Each time you unblock yourself by writing despite your fears, it builds confidence. You realize, “Hey, I’ve got a lot to say! And I’ve got a unique position!”
  • You teach yourself that even though your job requires you to write to and for other people, you’re really doing it for yourself
  • To be a resilient and fierce writer, you need to write despite your fears. And you need signals, such as writer’s block, to help uncover your fears so you can face them.

    For those of you who find the writing for this class too much to handle: Read this; read it several times; try to follow it's advice.
