The Balancing Stones Sculpture Writing Project ~ February, 2017

Your Notebook

Good Afternoon Everyone ~ If you are following along with The Balancing Stones Sculpture Writing Project then you will have your trusty Notebook filled out with the steps that we have taken thus far.  When we were last here, you were told to come back here, and have your notebook and the information from your Research (the year that your writing word that you chose from your soul was first used)...[my word was "Novelist", and the year my word was first used was 1728]...and then we would proceed to the next step of our Writing Project.

So here we are ~ You should have written in your Notebook information about the year that your word was first used.  I posted my Research about the year 1728 in the last Blog post.  What I found the most eye-opening about the year 1728 was one simple fact that caught my eye . . . The Historical Event that caught my attention about the year 1728 was The Beggar's Opera by John Gay, which premiered in London on January 29th, 1728.

You will have found out very interesting information about the year your word was first used that will catch your attention.  Personally, I had never heard of John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera".  So in doing my research on the Opera, I found out where it premiered -- London.  Since I was not even a thought in 1728, everything that I found out about the year 1728 was noteworthy.

Feel free to add your word (relating to writing), the year it was first used, and the interesting facts you found out about the happenings that took place in the year your word was first used in the comments section here on the Blog.  That should be fun for all of us!


RECAP (See previous Blog posts): 
1.  We each picked a word that related to Writing, such as Author, Journalist, PlayWrite, Novelist, Editor, Script Writer, Instruction Manual Writer, Copywriter, etc.

2.  Then we defined the word (in our own words)

3.  Then we looked our word up in the Dictionary of our choice

4.   Next, we printed out the Balancing Stones Sculpture photo from the first Blog post, and wrote our word on Stone 1 -- which was the 1st stone on the Balancing Stones Sculpture that attracted our attention.  [For each of us, the word, and the 1st stone is different].

5.  Next we all Researched the word that we chose, and wrote out all of the interesting information about our word in our Notebook.  (or printed it out if Research was done on the Computer).

6.  Then we looked up the year that our particular word was first used.

7.  Next, we wrote the year our word was first used on the 2nd Stone on the Balancing Stones Sculpture (to the right of the 1st Stone that we picked out with our word on it).  [If the Stone you chose for your 1st Stone was hanging off to the right, you would then place the year your word was first used on a Stone to the left of your 1st Stone].

8.  Next, we researched the year our word was first used, and wrote out all of the fascinating things, events, and/or happenings that took place during that particular year that caught our attention.

9.  NOW, here we are with all of our Research in hand written inside our Notebooks, and the print out of the Balancing Stones Sculpture with our word that resonates with our soul relating to writing on the 1st Stone of our choice, and the year the word was first used written on the 2nd Stone to the right of our 1st Stone (like the example above on the Balancing Stones Sculpture photo).

What you will do next is place your printout of the Balancing Stones Sculpture photo in front of you, and concentrate on where you will place your next word on the Sculpture (The spot will be on the Stone below your 2nd Stone choice). . .

Your next word will be the one piece of information that resonates with you from your Research.  For me it is "Opera".

Then you will place your Research word on the 3rd Stone, which should be just below your 2nd Stone.  Like so . . .

 

Current Balancing Stone Sculpture in our Writing Project process should have three Stones with information on them:  

1st Stone:  Your writing word that resonates with your soul

2nd Stone:  The year that your writing word was first used

3rd Stone:  The Research word that captured your attention from your Research Studies.

(Pictured above is my example of my writing process in our Project).

Our Writing Project utilizing our Balancing Stones Sculpture will continue with our next step after you have done further research study on the word you have written on your 3rd Stone.

Using the Computer (or your phone), Google your word.  Write down all of the information in your Writing Project Notebook.  Then we will see you back here for the next step!

 Peace, Love & Light,

René
