I DARE YOU: Rewrite a scene from your life.  Think of something that happened today or yesterday, something that wasn't perfect -- maybe even something that was downright mortifying -- and rewrite it as you would have wanted it to happen.     [Spilling Ink by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter, p. 11]

6.  Me-Bags  today:  In your composition book, take notes as your classmates present.  After each one, you will have the opportunity to ask questions.

When you write, what works best for you?
 place, time, music or no music, people around or solitary, what materials (computer?  pen and paper?  a particular type of pen or pencil?  a particular journal or notebook or. . .?)  Do you need any props like snacks or . . . . ?
