Students

Sometimes I teach college classes. If you can read this, you can learn to communicate on paper! Some helpful posts are listed below. You can also check the blog categories and tags for additional education related posts.

My teaching philosophy:

Writing is vital to your successful career. With technology, collaboration, and social media, you’ll be expected to write more than any generation before.
Life is an open book test. I don’t have to know everything–only where to find it–so that’s what I expect of you.
When you find something worth saying, something you have a passion for, many writing problems disappear.
Care more about what you’re saying that whether the punctuation is perfect.
Do study the details, and learn to use Spell Check. Keep a list of your most common errors and double-check for those. Why make the same error twice? Why have someone judge you as less intelligent than you are?
Exercise before writing. Get up and stretch. I highly recommend warming up with Brain Gym’s PACE routine.
Revision is allowed and encouraged. Writers in the real world rarely get it right the first time.
And by the same token, if you don’t take advantage of my professional editing advice, you’re silly.
Miracles happen when you show up and do the work. Keep up with the work! I can teach you to write. “Wax on. Wax off.”
You have gifts to share with the world, and I am honored to help you do that.
Writing is fun!
