Day 2

Aside from religious writings/texts/books, what ten documents/texts/books do you think have been the most influential in shaping the world? Please list them here (do not cut and paste from someone else's list on the internet). Then, include a developed paragraph with a topic or thesis statement (same thing) explaining your reasons for these choices.

Day 1

Welcome. Please introduce yourself as a reader and writer. What do you read? What do you write? How will reading and writing fit into your careeer and personal development?

Freewriting

Freewriting is a great way to get started on any paper.

Begin with the basic idea or concept of what you want to write about. If you don't have a basic idea, that's ok. An idea will come to you as you freewrite.

Now, set your timer for seven minutes. Some say ten minutes is best. It's up to you. I find that the shorter amount of time doesn't allow too many educated thoughts to invade the intuitive mindset you're about to enter. This excercise is not about what's right. It's about putting your educated mind aside, giving yourself up to the universe, and allowing your cosmic AT&T line to connect with the blank page or screen in front of you.

Start your timer and write without stopping for seven minutes. Whether you believe your writing is good or bad, don’t stop. If you run out of thoughts, stay positive. Write “yes” or “a new thought will come in a moment,” or “I can do this.” Repeat until a new thought comes. It will.

You must not stop. That is the goal. You are forcing your innate intelligence to override your educated intelligence. You are turning on your creative engine by allowing your intuitive mind to take over.
