A new project: AOK Writing

Believe it or not–before the pandemic even started–I pitched my Act Of Kindness Writing’ idea to the local community college.

And then came mid-March.

Prewriting Course Components

Greetings.

I’ve been sharing components of my prewriting mini-course and will continue to add to this page. So far, I have posted the ‘using a concept list’ video, with two samples, and a 23-point ‘James Patterson on outlining’ PDF.

I will be combining them all with additional resources in my Teachable course, but for now, if you’re interested…
