I created this blog a few weeks ago when I was still on my holiday break and had the time to get it done. Since that time, I’ve returned to work and school. I teach high school social studies and also currently working on an endorsement in secondary ELA, so I can teach another subject. Partner that with sitting on the local county planning commission and very active in the local Democratic party … when do I get time to write anything?
I do find the time to write. I wrote final exams for four classes this week. I also wrote a 1,000 word literary critique for John Steinbeck’s “The Chrysanthemums” for my class. I quickly scribbled down notes for the minutes I will have to type up and present to the next planning commission meeting, and I have to draft a letter for the commission to send to a construction company waiting for our approval.
I’m writing to the point that I spend every day writing. Writing for work and school come before writing for fun.
