Finally I have my book in hand and have actually read chapter 2. The idea of writing my thoughts is something new to me. I'm a great list maker and imperative writer, but I've not enjoyed the "luxury" of writing for inward reflection or outward recording. I've looked back and thought of stories I wished I had recorded to keep the facts straight and now I think will be able to do a little of that in the future.
I really enjoyed the chapter and I look forward to developing my writing skills (as rusty as they are) in my daily life. My nine year old son started a blog journal. Only I know his password for now and hopefully as he starts this process he'll learn what to share privately and what can be shared publicly. I know as he gets older he will want Facebook or something similar and we will have the advantage of many teachable moments as he develops his writing skill before then.
As a very verbal child, Trey has struggled putting his thoughts on to paper. I hope the blog will encourage him to learn keyboarding skills and how to convert his thoughts and ideas into something written. We've started this process slowly and will build on it.
