It’s raining. Which I love. It rained all night and even thundered a bit now and then. So I’m sitting at my new desk with the window open listening to the rain and trying to sort through all the things I want to say. Also, I have coffee. That’s important. Before we move forward, I […]
MoreI haven’t been blogging for a reason. Or really, for a hundred different reasons that piled on top of each other until I was too exhausted to even try to pull something true out of myself and put it on paper.
MoreSleep is not necessary extremely important. I do my best work 30 minutes after the deadline. Coffee is a legitimate need. When they say 15-20 hours of work per class each week, that’s what they mean. 5-10 hours will not be sufficient. “I will read all the books” quickly changes to “I will skim all the books”.

MoreWho here loves vacation? I adore vacation. The food, the sleep, the flexible scheduling, the lack of dishes and work and other responsibilities. Did I mention the food??
MoreI want to talk to you guys about panic. Not the “sudden overwhelming fear that produces hysterical or irrational behavior,” but rather the book Panic by Lauren Oliver. Aren’t you relieved? I am. I don’t want anyone to panic. Please. This book. Where do I even begin? It is a character-driven story with so many […]
MoreWe’re having book talk! It has been entirely too long and I’m very excited to share a new book with you. In my absence from our Book Talk Tuesdays, I have continued to read, so there are several books that are begging to be shared. The first one up is Good Prose: The Art of […]
