Write a brief story about a time when you were frustrated with writing.

• What were the circumstances? Why were you frustrated?

To what extent do you feel that you do not need to learn to write? In other words, where do you place yourself on the continuum of novice to expert writer?

Locate yourself on this continuum.

• Hopeless

• You can kind of do it

• You have stuff to learn but you can be dynamic and adaptable

• You’re an expert and you don’t need to learn too much

Why are you here? Where do you want to be?
