Compost Happens is a personal blog: part family, part garden, part crunchy green eco-writer. I'm Daisy, and I'm the groundskeeper here. I take care of family, garden, and coffee, when I'm not teaching and doing laundry.

    Creative Writing gets Personal

    Actual email exchange with student

    Student: About the personal narrative. Does it have to be a COMPLETELY true story? Or can I ... change it a little bit? Thank you.

    Me (Teacher): Well, personal does mean true. It needs to be the real deal, no fiction parts.

    Student: Okay. I will try to find something true.

    She hasn't learned yet that truth is often stranger than fiction!

    The sequel:
    The girl's topic? She wrote (brilliantly) about the day she couldn't think of anything to write.
