Ready, Set, Go!

• Look over your writing and select one aspect that
  you see is a strength in this piece of writing.
  Be prepared to identify this asset and share it
  with another participant.
• This technique stops you from 'pre-editing' your
  work, and, thus, stifling your ideas or thoughts.
  It helps you get past your left brain 'inner
  critic' and tap into your right brain's
  creativity. This type of writing allows your
  ideas to flow without hindrance.
• Editing is an important aspect of writing, but
  not while you are producing. Premature editing
  doesn't just make writing hard, it also makes it
  dead. It stifles your own innate 'voice'. Your
  'voice' is what makes your writing uniquely
  yours.
