You do not have to finish everything that you write You can go back and work on unfinished writing pieces You can always start something new Give your best spelling, punctuation and grammar I only care that you are writing in it Pencils are moving, lips are closed Use it as a space to collect ideas to write about Date each page You should go back and look at what you’ve written before You can do anything in there – write, sketch, make a list – but, you can’t do the same thing every time Like a sketchbook in art class Not everything is going to be your best writing! Not a place for rough copies Not a place for good copies
