Three Teachers Talk recently wrote about the architectural approach to prewriting at a tried and "still" true method. Honestly, since I first experienced it in the Abydos Writing Institute, it is the best method to collect and store memories that can be used for writing of all genres, not just the introspective.
Then I went to Walkon's Sports Bistreaux. Being a food snob, I had shunned the place, shuddering at the thought of poorly prepared bar food. But the Boudin Balls were a welcome surprise. But... as we were seated, the waitress set down these napkins:
And she told us the story of how Brandon and Jack sketched out their dream as their team flew home after playing at the University of Tennessee. They blueprinted their dream, y'all. And the other side of the napkin was an invitation to prewrite...to plan something new...to dream and sketch the plan.
Cheers to you and your dreams. I'm headed back to Walkons for another serving of those fried rice and pork balls. You think they will give me a package of those napkins to use with the kids?
Cheers to you and your dreams.
