Old Newspaper Clipping

That title is inaccurate, but I've gone with it because it is more picturesque.

I've been cleaning out the piles of papers I've had boxed up for years as I prepare to move next month. (As a trained child of lay-it-away-for-the-future-ers, I've found a lot.)

I liked the rhythm of this particular freewrite. (Set a timer, and write the whole time, pen never stopping.) At the time of the notebook I discovered it in, I was a writing lab tutor at Snow College. I'm fairly sure I was attempting to either jump-start or convince myself to write one of the weekly self-critique papers I had for my tutoring class, which was meant to show what I had seen work and not work during my time in that lab that week. Here it is, circa 2006, 7 or 8:

Alicia. Running her paper was a little wordy  I helped her by doing something helped helped helped helped pointing out by reading having her read helped a lot  I need to go extrapolate and type this up  Time is slow thank goodness  Oh man I want to leave  concentrate  Having her read helped her a lot and doing good concentrate  she started picking it out herself  too many words stuffed into things  Oh gosh I love sugar  why is that something I need sleep  Um  when she also needed comparison I helped her with that  I need to also talk about the times she worked or sugar  I mean what was it specific details  nice and love to pieces --> food, always stops in all of those things that makes her cool and she was able to see that after just working on the 1st half of 2nd paragraph  I need understanding with the questions about Craig it helped  a lot and she could tell what was lacking about Jo 1st paragraph intro thinger was a little unorganized so out of it I helped her figure out how she wanted it all to relate to the thesis  I think I can go write this now.
