writing about places
Stumbled across this and thought it was fitting as we think about place as inspiration. Shimelle Layne offers 5 Ideas for Writing About Places.
Hello there!
Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I returned to my first love—the classroom—in the 2026-2027 school year. Previously, I served as a:
- professional learning director for The Lead Learners (2018-2026)
- the editor in chief of the Choice Literacy website (2019-2026)
- an instructional coach (2004-2018)
- a 7th grade teacher (2000-2004)
I write books, articles and other stuff because I’m sure stories + teachers make the world a better place. Most importantly, I’m completely charmed by my forever family. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Don’t miss my website!
Ruth Ayres is my home on the web. You’ll find announcements and contact information.
My latest book will be out in 2027.
Very, very cool…thanks for sharing, Ruth. And what a great new blog! I have a hard enough time keeping up with one!
Thanks Tara. I know what you mean about trying to keep up a blog. I honestly don't know if this one will live past the summer. But for now it is fun and useful and a great place to discover a little bit more about myself as a writer. I'm glad you hopped over here. 🙂
