Although previous committments prevented me from attending this year's WHWN conference, I read the article by Brittany Moffat with interest. I am a 2001 NOWP "graduate" and totally agree that the four week course transformed my ideas about writing, not only my students' writing but my own. The course was beneficial because we were teachers teaching one another; we had similar experiences in the classroom to make the interactions relevant. And we had time for personal writing and sharing.
We learned that our personal writing integrated with our professional, enabling us to write more clearly. The more we wrote, the better we writers we became.
Leon Bibb's professional and personal writing also co mingle. They give his writing the edge over others because he does take such an interest in writing. He also knows how to make the written word speak what needs to be said. Isn't that what writing is all about?
