Never again will you have homework for Creative Writing class!
Enjoy your summer! If you can, walk barefoot in the grass and let it tickle your toes... go swimming in a crystal-clear pool with friends... read a good book... write a poem... have a family movie night and eat popcorn for dinner...
Take a run around your neighborhood until you're breathing heavily... squish the sand between your toes at the beach... memorize a passage of Scripture you appreciate... play a board game with your family, and be a gracious loser (if it comes to that!)...
Invite a friend over that you met this year at KEYS... write in your journal... read a good book... mow your lawn... look up at the stars twinkling in the dark night sky... read a good book... pick some flowers and put them in a vase in your bedroom...
Cook dinner for your family to give the regular cook a break... write a story (you really do know how to do this well now!)... play with a baby... send your grandparent a letter... read a good book... buy a nice journal and put it on your bedside table... write in it every once in a while...
Send me an email update—I'd love to hear from you!

DAILY HABITS I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE:
+ Read a book for pleasure. Aim for 30 minutes each day. Mark the number of minutes on a Reading Log as you go along so you can see your progress. Continue to keep track of which books you’re reading and have read in any given year. This is a habit for life!
+ Keep memorizing Scripture. Choose some new verses to memorize. Make Scripture memory cards and commit the verses to memory. Keep track of them, reviewing a few each day. Regularly review the four you learned for our class (Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 4:29-32, Philippians 4:4-8, 1 Chronicles 29:11-13). This is a habit for life!
+ Keep memorizing poetry. When you come across a poem you love, commit it to memory—it’s good for your brain and good for your soul. Keep reviewing the poems you memorized for our class. This is a habit for life!
+ Write in your journal each day. The authors of the Psalms wrote down their prayers to God—about absolutely anything and everything, covering every kind of emotion. You have a model in the Psalmist… and in Mark Rodriguez’s journal… and in your own writing you’ve already done. It gets easier and easier as you go along. This is a habit for life!
+ Continue to process life in poetry! You’ve learned so much about writing creatively… and descriptively… and figuratively… Take advantage of this and write about important life experiences in poetry. This is a habit for life!
+ Make your bed! Honestly, it’s good for you. This is a habit for life!
