\u201cFirst forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you\u2019re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish… Inspiration won\u2019t. Habit is persistence in practice.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Octavia Butler<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you make plans for winter quarter, I\nwant to invite you and your students to participate in the next round of\nWriting Lab. We will gather weekly for five weeks, Wednesdays, 10-11:20\nam, weeks 1-5. Writing Lab is a meeting place for students to share their\nwriting, build a community, and crowd source best practices for working under\nthese unusual circumstances. At the center of Writing Lab, we will open notebooks\nand dive into a series of free-writing, list making, and drawing exercises. We\nwill share strategies and structures for doing work in the midst of this\npandemic. Our goal is to follow Octavia Butler and build habits that will\npersist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please RSVP if you would like to attend.\nIf you\u2019re bringing students let me know your program name and how many students\nyou have or anticipate and I will save you and your program a spot (and send a\nzoom link).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to seeing you on the\nsmall screen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stokley Towles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK from Spring and\nFall 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being in a community to write\nexpressively is one of the few joys while in quarantine. I wish I had this as a\ncore experience when I first entered college.\u201d \u2013 Gavin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt has been a really important (if not\nthe most important) part of the last two quarters of school for me. It has been\na through line I can follow and return to when I get bogged down in the\nexternal world or in my course work.\u201d \u2013 Annabelle Morin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was there partly as a professor and\npartly as another participant. I think it\u2019s actually a good model for\nfaculty\/student contact that Evergreen might want to think about promoting\nespecially during the pandemic.\u201d \u2013 Shaw Osha (Flores)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is honestly my favorite part of the\nweek.\u201d \u2013 Maya Nathan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s an oasis in the frenzy of school\nwork that occurs all week.\u201d \u2013 Laura Allingham<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love the ritual aspect of this,\nthat every Wednesday at 10 we know we get to come together and tune in and\nlisten to ourselves and each other with curiosity and without judgement. So I\nvalue the ritual and the feeling of community.\u201d \u2013 Julia Zay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
