Step Three

You write.
This may be a complete work (novel, short story, memoir, essay, assignment, letter, resume, report, etc.) or it may be incomplete, and ongoing. You determine your pace and the work you want to learn from, which is not the same as determining what you want to learn. The writing will dictate that.

You determine that you will learn.
You decide you want to learn and improve your writing, and thus you are open to the experience. You may know what you want to improve on—and this is good—but I also ask you to leave room for the unexpected.

You listen to and/or read my comments.
These may be written, or verbal, or both.

You ask questions.
While I encourage this, I acknowledge I am not all-knowing. Questions are an integral part of the open exchange between Writer and Writing Tutor/Coach. To not ask a question is to limit the possibilities of what might be learned.

You maintain authority over your work.
You, the only person with absolute intimate knowledge of your work, are the only one who can determine what it becomes.
