a touching story about the healing power of love

Dearest bloggers, so many of you have expressed fear about sharing your story during the peer edit process or in front of the class. You do not have to read yours to the class or peer edit with a student you don't know or trust. If you need feedback from me--prepare specific questions for me about your piece and bring the questions to me rather than the entire draft. At this point a couple dozen students have expressed fears about topic, content, sharing, and changing topics. Just shut up and write! Seriously, write without editing and correcting, don't go back and reread it yet, don't share it yet, take a break from it when you are at a stopping place. I can't wait to read your work and listen to you share. Oh the healing power of love! What a touching story.
