September Blank Pages- Memoirs
Blank Pages is series of writers workbooks each over a 100 pages long. The workbooks are designed as graphic organizers to help you get started writing, so that you aren't looking at a blank page. I hate starting on a blank page, so I have taken them away. There will be a total of 13 workbooks; one for each month of the year plus a thirteenth illustrator workbook. Each month features a different type of writing and does not have to be done in the month it designates. In fact we encourage you to break the rules and write in them when ever you want to. We aren't even going to release them on the right months.
Septembers will be the first to be released and will probably come out in two weeks in May. It is being edited now, so the countdown begins! A team of writers from 12 years old to 65 are exploring it's pages and practicing writing in it now, and it's not September! We are going to start displaying the pages we are filling out here. Scanning them in and letting you get a sneak peek at what the workbooks have to offer.
September is all about Memoirs. It is designed with three pages per day of the month giving writers multiple activities and prompts. With over 100 pages of writing activities you won't be able to complete it in a month. Good thing it doesn't have to be done in September.Each day has journaling space in addition to random prompts, activities, and writing quotes. Each week has at least one illustrating or art activity. After you work your way through the workbook, there are bonus pages in the back to help you format, revise, and edit so that you can finish at least one project each month. I have also listed my favorite writing sites and hints. Go ahead and steal the prompts off of pages we scan in to get you started writing. Just please don't take our stories. The workbooks are black and white and give writers room to doodle and fill them out. Remember that our sample pages are filled out by writers of every age and ability.
As a k-12 school teacher this workbook is written to the core standards and designed to be used in my classroom with students and in my critique and writing clubs with adults. Teachers we will be offering lesson plans and class disks if you want a format you can print out instead of individual workbooks, just let me know what you need.
