Alice Nine will do a minimum of repetition from one session to the other. The routine is great for middle school also. \nAbout Ape the Author\nIn his essay “The Sedulous Ape\,” Robert Louis Stevenson shares how he developed his writing skills —through journaling\, copy work\, and imitation. He wrote\, “Whenever I read a book or a passage that particularly pleased me\, I must sit down at once to ape that quality.” Inspired by these words\, Alice Nine developed a sentence-crafting routine she calls Ape the Author.
