Writing begins before students even pick up a pencil, but there are many reasons to stop and rejoice between the idea and the finished project. By helping students celebrate each stage of the writing process and applauding success, we help our students persevere through what can be an extended and challenging process. In their innovative new book, Celebrating Writers , Ruth Ayres and Christi Overman discuss dozens of ways to respond, reflect, and rejoice along the journey to a finished project. This type of celebration nurtures students, makes them better writers, and helps them recognize that writing is a process filled with notable moments, not simply a result where publication is the only marker of success. From traveling notebooks to lunch-table writing, from author interviews with a writing partner to silent reflection, from swapping stories around a campfire to tweeting favorite lines, Ruth and Christi share dozens of fun and effective ways for you and your students to commemorate their progress as writers. As the authors write, It's time to expand the idea of celebration to include the process of writers and the products they create. Let's build an approach that weaves celebration into the heart of all writers. Be ready to learn to refuel the writers in your classroom, even on the tough days.

Women Writing Letters is a literary and performance event that is hosted by an independent Toronto theatre company named Gailey Road Productions. Four times a year Women Writing Letters brings together renown and up-and-coming women artists to celebrate the art of letter writing. The letters gathered here take on four provocative themes: A Letter To The Night I'd Rather Forget, A Letter To My _____ Birthday Ever, A Letter To The Things I Never Told My Mother, and A Letter To My Nemesis. The writers are playwrights, theatre artists, poets, graphic novelists, academics, essayists, novelists, short fiction writers, and songwriters. Some of the letters are funny. Some are sad. Some are funny and sad. All of them are thoughtful and reflective.

Write and Transform your Reality The mind of a successful writer is a different country. A realm of beauty and terror, a place of creativity and happiness and sadness. Today, we celebrate the lives and work of thousands of such authors, and learn more about these special, immortal minds. 1. They all have the ability to express what they feel like no one else can. Whether a writer uses complex words or simple, everyday phrases, he or she is able to bring the emotions and feelings that are inherent within all of us to being on a page, and this is a very rare trait. 2. They all have strong imaginations. A successful writer is able to paint with words and evoke images of new worlds, universes, and realities. Especially when we have all been stuck at home in the recent past, a good book is a way for our minds to travel across both space and time, and experience worlds that we have never seen and never will see. 3. They can look at life from a different perspective. A million people who are not published authors can look at something, and feel that it is a boring slice of everyday existence, and ignore it. However, a good writer can elevate the mundane to the sublime, and find magic in things that everybody knows about, but that nobody else is able to make special. The puzzles in this book deal with hundreds and hundreds of legendary literary figures; they will also introduce you to some of their most famous works. Some of the writers you will read about are very prominent, and everyone knows them; some are more obscure, and you will be able to use this book partly as a book discovery tool; as a virtual book club or reading list, if you will! By the end, your mind will have had a thorough workout, and you will have discovered a few new intriguing literature creators to check out. Libraries and bookstores - whether online or offline - are slowly opening again. I wish you the best.
