Finding Your Writer Identity


by Martin Wiles @LinesFromGod

“Whom are you mimicking?” 

All day, I heard the question. Spirit week. Not my favorite part of the school year, but the kids love it, and I try to participate in at least one of the themes. One that I chose entailed dressing like one of the students. 

Since spirit week falls in the middle of winter—and since I do not enjoy dressing up—I selected a student who wears stuff I enjoy. In this case, a stretch hat, which keeps my bald head warm. So, on that particular day, I wore a hat all day—something we typically can’t do. And I made this student’s day because he was proud I chose to mimic him.
