“Outlining in Reverse”

“I’m writing a first draft and reminding myself that I’m simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”
― Shannon Hale

Read about this technique and how authors (myself included!!) work backwards to hone clarity and focus.

Post a comment (2 sentences minimum) that either:
-Comments on the piece (Can you see yourself using this technique? How might it help? What pitfalls might you face while using it?, etc.)
-Asks an open-ended (level 4) question about something in the text
-Reply to a peer’s comment/question

Blog comment due Tuesday at 7 a.m.; annotations due Tues. or Wed, depending on when I see you next.

Have a peachy weekend!
