Writing Invitations

Notebooks

Notebooks are "seedbeds"--they are the foundation upon which writing practices are built, no matter the discipline or area of focus. In 2020, notebooks can take all kinds of shapes. They can be tiny, or medium size, or full blown composition notebooks or entirely online. Writers may decide to keep notebooks on specific topics, or else, keep kind of an omnibus notebook, recording personal and work-related reflections in the same space. Do you keep a notebook? For the course of this Summer Institute, we invite you to establish a fresh notebook. Select it with some care, and then use it in as many ways as you can think of. We'll reflect on these along the way.
