Getting students Excited about writing

Writing is probably the least liked subject by mt students, but I have one student that is not interested in writing at all. Everyday seems to be a struggle to find ideas or topics for him to connect with and be interested in. As I was searching through the RSS feeds I found a website on free tech4 teachers.com.
Tonight I came across the website writecomics.com. As I look at this website, all I can think of is how much I think my particular student would love it. I am excited to return to school on Monday to show him what he is capable of creating on this website. By allowing him to pick backgrounds, characters, and write the script, I am hoping he will see how much fun writing can be. It will allow him to use his creativity in a new way where he is able to use technology to construct and organize his ideas.
Websites like writecomics.com make me thankful for the usse of technology in my classroom to be able to reach exceptional students use their strengths to improve upon areas of difficulty.
