ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER WORKSHOP
EXPLORING THE PROCESS OF WRITING:
BRAINSTORMING / ORGANIZING
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Noon-1:00 PM
LIB-16B
The Academic Support Center is offering its first in a series of workshops on "Exploring the Process of Writing." These workshops are free to WCC students, and are a valuable resource for both the neophyte and seasoned writer.
The brainstorming/organizing workshop focuses on the brain's natural thinking processes and demonstrates how to gather your brain's energies into a "storm" that produces a manageable roadmap from which to direct your writing.
Brainstorming/organizing strategies are effective when starting a project with too much information, or when starting with not enough. Brainstorming can help spring a project into motion, or to focus an overwhelming amount of information into manageable components.
If you're staring at a blank page with no idea where to start, brainstorming helps to get the winds of inspiration moving through the recesses of the seemingly exhausted resources of the brain. On the other hand, if you've got so much information swirling about your noggin that you can't quell the chaos, brainstorming helps to squelch the torrent so you can glean out what's important and purge the superfluous.
