What’s inside

Three parts. How the eight questions work as a set and how to pick four. The brainstorm — fourteen questions that pull real material out of a seventeen-year-old who is certain nothing interesting has ever happened to them. Then all eight prompts one at a time, each with real student writing and Danielle’s notes on why it worked.

It is written to the student, in her voice, the way she talks to them in her office. Most parents read it too — it is the fastest way to know what you are looking at when the first draft lands in your inbox.
