I enjoy the brainstoming process, but don't love the revision process.  I want to learn more about how to get kids share their writing work with a larger audience.

I love the creatve aspect of writing. The frustration is getting students to engage and put in the work rather than a quick search and copy paste.

I am a 5th grade writing teacher and LOVE it! Everything from brainstorming to the final copy. My favorite way to teach writing is by symbolizing parts of paragraphs with different colors. They kids are always shouting out "You need a purple closing sentence!" Something that I struggle with as a writing teacher is getting those kids engaged who claim they are "bad" writers.

Torture - deciding what to write about
I enjoy when I’m finished.

Writing in small bursts, giving and receiving feedback, adding creative images, symbols, drawings in the process is not torturous. But training ourselves to let the creative juices flow before editing is hard. What stops the writing process is the self-critique that happens before we even get going--it kills creativity.
