About Me
This page ....
... was inspired by Gail Sher's "One Continuous Mistake" in which she described how she used haiku to develop good writing habits.
The brevity of this form - just 17 syllables - means that something can (usually) be produced quite quickly, thus enabling the writing habit. However, this brevity also means that the writer must be economical in conveying an experience. This leads to another good habit - revision.
So here we go. My haiku.
I don't know how good they are ... and I don't care how good they are.
Here they are.
