2010 E-Journal

This is the title page of our Electronic-Daily Journal for SI 2010. Each day a fellow will be selected to add an entry for the day.

The daily journal is a life long feature of Coalfield Writers summer institute. Each fellow will have the opportunity to contribute at least one entry to the daily journal. In the journal fellows can:

  • review and reflect on the day

  • make note of funny words, phrases, sentences

  • reflect about their personal experience

  • save an event for future memory.

There is no correct or incorrect way to do the entry. The thing to remember is that the Electronic Daily Journal will live for future TCs to read and enjoy.

To contribute to the E-Journal, follow these directions:

  • Click Add Child Page.
  • Type a Title in the Title Field.
  • Type your daily reflection in the box labeled Body.
  • Add your name as the author.
  • When you have finished composing your reflection for the day, click Preview.
  • Read your entry, make necessary corrections, then click Save.
