Oh Small Citizens, What Is Your Future?

When I started the blog over the summer, I was intending to kill time writing funny anecdotes about working with children before I went off to grad school. Then of course, I would be immersed in study and generate all kinds of insightful musings on the place of children in society.


The first part has come true. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how interesting theories of childhood are to outside readers, although of course I think everyone should care about this. I’ve been putting off writing on the blog since I started school because I didn’t know if I would have enough to write about to make it worth keeping.


However! One reason I started this was to force myself to practice writing, no matter who was actually reading it. Writing will hopefully be a major part of my future endeavors and I keep hearing that the only way to become a good writer is to…write. So Small Citizens gets a stay of execution, and anyone who feels like reading is welcome along for the (non-rollercoastery) ride.

  1. i'm in! it's true- the more you are forced to write, the better you become. writing is all about audience as well, so if your imagined audience is wonky policy types, then you should wonk it up all over the place and we'll just sit tight and dig in. good luck, smartypants!
