Anna Quindlen on Personal Writing

Columnist/fiction author Anna Quindlen has written a column inspired by the new movie "Freedom Writers," and the real-life story behind it. "Write for Your Life" extolls the importance of personal writing, such as journals and letters, as she asks "Wouldn't all of us love to have a journal, a memoir, a letter, from those we have loved and lost? Shouldn't all of us leave a bit of that behind?"

The entire column appears in the Jan. 22 issue of Newsweek.

The anthology will go smoothly so relax fearless leader. This perhaps will be the best way to learn about writing for us. Many clubs give assignments to write on. But the real area that writers need to practice is revising and editing. Perhaps we should begin with bios to show the diversity in the writers of our book.
