  • This Blog has Roots

    I started the Writing Repair Centre blog in 2009, when I was teaching at Conestoga College. My PR students were (still are!) talented, creative people with great ideas. Unfortunately, that didn't always come across in their written assignments.

    So I set up a blog to write about some of the things that were showing up in their work.

    One of their assignments for me was to start a blog and post at least 12 times during the term. So it was only fair that I play, too. It was fun. So here we are.
