  For my lab this week, I decided to write about " Advice to Writers,"  by Jon Winokur. It was really interesting to read over, and look at all the different ways and techniques writers use to help with ideas and confidence. I think the best advice I saw in this lab would be to just write what you want to write. It is your story, so what ever you write reflects who you are as a person, and your style as well.
