WELCOME

Welcome to the next, big adventure in my writing journey. I have committed to writing a weekly blog post that is all things teaching and learning. I am not sure where this particular leg in the journey will take me, but I am hoping the along the way, others will benefit from my humble efforts.

With that being said, sit back, relax, and let's enjoy this ride.

My Slice of Life Story Challenge Experience

Write Anyway

I finally made it to Teach Write's Wake Up and Write. It actually feels good to put pen to paper this morning with intention. I would consider most of my writing lately as anytime pages , or notebooking (not just though). I plan, or more like a goal, to write everyday. Some days, actually most days, I wait until the end of the day. By that time, I am so mentally exhausted and drained from the events of the day, so I have a hard time finding anything "meaningful" to write about.  (If you are a writer, you know the challenge and fears associated with our own notions of the quality of our writing.) But, I try to put something down even if it's only one sentence. Maybe that's the mark of a true writer. She struggles to come up with what she thinks are good/great ideas, but she writes something anyway. She never knows...the words and ideas that she considers random on her anytime pages may just be her next blog post. If you are struggling to write these days, I hope y...
