Sorry I am behind in participating, guys. My writing has literally been kicking my ass, not to mention all of the life I have had happening. End of the school year approaching, and my manuscript is now up to 80 pages. For a short story writer and poet, THAT is a daunting number.
On top of all of it, I have sold my principal on letting me venture into the field of experimentation with electronic books in the classroom. I am getting four Nooks on Monday! How awesome is that??? This is totally new, and newsworthy story. Every time a classroom gets these things they end up on CNN or something. I am writing all the curriculum and lesson plans, and carefully building a book list that will withstand parent and public scrutiny... attending spring concerts, soccer games, piano recitals, graduations, retirement parties, and all of the usual stuff. Yadda yadda yadda. Oh, and I write, somewhere in there.
Anyway, today is the day I have designated to get caught back up on my online work. I have copies printed of Daniel's, Riley's, and Chris's work. Looking forward to reading all of it!
Looking forward to seeing you guys in July, it's getting close!

Hey Jason tell us how it goes with the Nooks. I heard that next year a lot of schools are going to get iPads. That should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteNo worries about the writing kicking your ass. That's what write fu is, after all! We all have crazy schedules (except for me. I just sit on my ass all day).
Whoops, accidentally hit post before finished.
ReplyDeleteSo continuing:
We have crazy schedules. So flexibility and understanding is here a-plenty. We'll take as much as you can give. In the words of Michael Jackson, "It's all about love. L-O-V-E." :P
