Free Write

Learning to write English composition, the author sat in a college classroom as a student-author.  The college professor, a short skinny well dressed man, instructed the class to free-write for five minutes.

Obstinately, the student-author did not write as his classmates began scribing in their journals.  

The professor began to make his way around the semi-circle arrangement of seating in the classroom.  When the professor arrived at the student-author not writing during free-write he asked, “Why are you not writing?”

“I can’t think of anything to write,” the student-author retorted.

“Write,” responded the professor.

“So, like, anything?”

“Write.”

“Like, cuss words?”

“Write.”

“Like, fuck and shit and bitch?”

“[Right].”

Satisfied with the freedom to misbehave a little in class, the student-author began to write freely the cuss words and the professor continued to finish the circuit of students.

Eventually the student-author became bored of writing cuss words.  Soon other, more intelligent words appeared on the page.  Just as a thought entered to write, the professor declared the free-writing time complete.

Reading and Writing

With what voice do we write?

What is it about our own voice?

Where do we learn to speak?

Is our voice a collection of the voices we expose ourself?

Inherently.

The voices we hear, are the voices we hear, and hear, and hear until, at some point we speak.

With instruction we learn to speak more efficiently.

The same is true for our writing.  With instruction we learn to write more efficiently.

The writings read can be templates for drafts written. 

We write the way we read.

Crystal Cloud

Water in it’s gaseous form is still a crystal.  

Thus, clouds and fog are crystal clouds.

When you are in a fog you are in a crystal cloud!

Molten Crystal

The properties of water are simply amazing.

Freezing solid water crystallizes into ice.

Ice is a solid crystal and when it melts it becomes molten into water.

Thus, liquid water is molten crystal.

When you drink water you are drinking moten crystal!
