[quote=Anonymous]In 4th or 5th grade, DD made improving her writing a project of hers because she decided she wanted to be an author (she's now working on a degree in a STEM field lol). She read a few "how to" articles on the internet and started a journal. She has always been a voracious reader, but she started to take notes on the books she read. It was just what she liked and didn't to start, but it gradually became more specific as her interests in different aspects of crafting a written work waxed and waned. She would try to reflect that in her writing. She had a teacher that she really liked, and would show her what she was working on to get feedback. She still takes notes when she reads, and she still writes for fun quite a bit.

Younger DS is passionate about many things, but writing has never been one of them. What DD did would never work for him because he would never put in the necessary thought or effort. We are going to get him a writing tutor and see how that goes.[/quote]
