WHY
I MADE THIS WEB PAGE
Writing
is one of my passions. When I was a non-traditional student,
I met many other non-traditional students who also loved to
write.
I met some of those non-traditional students in my English teaching
classes at Western Kentucky University.
Now
I am writing online on websites and blogs, and on article sites.
I am also starting to write some short stories and hopefully
will start a novel soon.
So
I want to list and share all the neat sites and links I have
found while doing my research.
I
hope you enjoy these links here on this page. You can also go
to the Writers Page and find even
more resources, such as more online writing groups, editing
pages, and more. Enjoy!
ABOUT
WRITING AND BEING A NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT
I
think it helps a lot to already love to write when you become
a non-traditional student. Extra assignments, papers, and essay
tests all come easier when you love to write. It isn't such
a chore then.
One
thing I did remember from being in school before was to start
early on writing assignments. When I was in college the first
time, I used to put assignments off and wait until the very
last minute. As a non-traditional student (and much older...)
I just didn't have the stamina to stay up all night and complete
projects. It made me much too tired.
I
needed to write a lot while I was in college as a nontraditional
student, because I was taking education and English courses.
My favorite class that I wrote a lot for helped me learn how
to critique other people's writing.
The
professor had us all do a high school portfolio, complete with
many different kinds of writing. It was fun!
MY
NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENT BLOG - - AND HOW IT STARTED
Although
non-traditional students often are very busy already with school,
homework, studying for tests, and family responsibilities, it
can be fun to start a blog about being a non-traditional student
if you can find the time. I know it was a lot of fun for me.
I
started a blog when I was in school, and talked some about being
a non-traditional teaching student. You can see
my blog here.
There
is another writing page on this site,
too. You can find even more links there. |
