Writing for Aliens?

"Writing, we work alone, yet we're part of a conversation whose scope we can only just begin to imagine." Rachel Kadish.


Questions for a writing weekend:

Questions provide a way to write to strengths and understand objectives. They also enable a writer to ponder areas that require more work.

Take time to freewrite to these questions:

l. What do you strive for in your writing: self-satisfaction or writing for a reader?

2. What obstacles do you push beyond to achieve your goals?

3. How do you deal with a disappointment and turn it into an opportunity?

4. Do you feel vulnerable showing your first drafts to others?

5. What do you do with feedback on your writing?

6. How do you balance your readers' comments with your ideals?


When you complete your responses, see if another freewrite might provide additional insights.
