The Writing Process: Narrowing from Topic to Subject

If you're an English major, you're in the wrong place. Go away. There is nothing for you here. As for the rest of you—with your heads on right, rather than moaning over the past participle—let’s get down to business. I’m Ms. Wilson-Young, a lowly English teacher in the middle of Georgia.

I’m here to help. And maybe even inspire you to do better than just pass.
