I am writing my dissertation and had the sweetest convo with my grade 6 Ryka. He suggested that I just draft — write without editing or worrying about polishing it — then review it, and as a last step, read it aloud! My heart melted with joy.
He asked me how much I wrote last week, and I said 50 pages. He encouraged me with true joy, saying, “50 pages is really good for one week!”
My little son — the writer. Simple tips he and I are using in our writing. Pure joy!
