The Cottage of Blog
Good evening from the Cottage of Blog.
I haven't much to say tonight. Just that I'm exhausted, and you'll probably hear that complaint often in the next ten months.
The kids are back. The first day went smoothly. Pretty nice in fact. I have some lovely kids.
I have a nineth period class, which goes to 3:40. I'm not happy about that--last year I was out by 3:00. But, okay, I'm easy to get a long with (Hah) and the good news is I don't have to arrive until second period. (about 8:30 instead of 7:55 or so)
So no, that isn't the problem. It was the influx of forty new students into my nineth period class that was the shocker. I have kids everywhere short of hanging out the window (I expect that any day now) and swinging from the rafters (good thing I don't have rafters in my classroom)
I now remember back to last September when I complained about having "writer's block." Yeah, well no wonder! It wasn't writer's block I was suffering from. Oh Lord help me, I hope I don't go through that again.
I will spend some time this week just reading my assignments and meditating on story ideas. Only two more days 'til the weekend.
My RWA group has a "sprint" weekend where we all pledge either a certain amount of time or pages-project to accomplish. I'll have to think about a new project and will commit about 15 hours I think.
It's a bold ambition. But, if I do, I should accomplish something toward knowing where I'm headed.
Take care everyone. Thanks for taking your time to read from
my "Cottage of Blog."
Happy reading, writing and revising.

Thanks Joan. I might have to ammend that to reading two novels and maybe writing 10 hours or something. I have an assignment to do.
