"Expecting the Unexpected," according to Murray, "Regular habits is crucial--he viewed writing as work like any other work; however, there was some magic--something unexplainable--about what happened when your butt was in the chair" (Newkirk, 77). As young writers, the best advice is to just have them write, and to mirror authors they enjoy reading. When students write, they need to understand that writing is an "evolving text." Murray advocates, "Writing is a form of play and pleasure" (80). Writing opens streams of thoughts that is destined to be revealed and heard. As teachers, our goal is to guide students to read authors that will inspire them to write by expanding on their ideas or style of writing.
