Your Wiki Community of Writers

 * Create your own page on this wiki where you can post your writing. It's easy! Just be sure to use your first name in the name of your page, so we will know who you are.
 * Create your page by clicking on the top left icon "New Page" and follow the steps. To edit or add information to your page, click on the pencil. Be sure to save it! It's a good idea to type and save a longer piece in Word first, then copy and paste it into your wiki page.
 * Click on other participant's pages and read and comment on what they have written. Use the "Discussions" tab on each page to post a comment or respond to a comment.

How does a community of writers respond to one another?

 * We want to encourage one another, but we also acknowledge that we want to become better writers. With that understood, we need to share meaningful and constructive commentary on our writing.
 * How? As a writer, you have an idea of what you are trying to achieve with a piece of writing. Post your writing to your wiki, then start a discussion on your "Discussion Tab" by posting what type of feedback you want.
 * As readers, we should comment on what works in a piece of writing. Don't simply say, "It's great!" Tell a writer what you like and why it works: "I like your use of imagery in line 2; it really takes me there." You also need to pose questions to help the writer improve: "I would like to know more about what it looked like in your neighborhood. Was it rural? Was it a subdivision?"
