Reminder:  Have you been completing quickwrite extras in your notebook?  Oct. 8, Oct. 15, & Oct. 22 since they were last collected.  Be sure to write something substantial, not just a sentence or two about what you did that day (it’s not a diary/journal).  If you want, use the 100 days slide deck, or Pinterest something, or use cartoons or memes to spark new ideas. Quotes from your reading can be inspirational, and so can lyrics from your favorite songs.  Play with genre.  Be original.
