Hello there!
Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I’m the director of a professional development consortium of 30 schools in northern Indiana committed to empowering student-centered learning. 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!
Discover. Play. Build. is full of resources to make teaching writers manageable and enjoyable. You’ll find video minilessons, downloadable resources and even a preview copy of my new book!

Oh no! You sound awful! (But it is a great poem) I hope you are feeling better soon. Wish I could bring you some chicken soup.

Oh dear! Sorry you don't feel well! Maybe your body is saying SLEEP instead of WRITE tonight!

Yes, I have to agree with Carol. Take care of YOU. Take a day for YOU. I learned this lesson all too well over the last couple of weeks. Time to slow it down, be alone in the peace of your home, pray, and take time for you (which by the way can include writing then!). Hope you are feeling better … and soon!

When the going gets tough, the tough get WRITING. Sleep is overrated!
You are one hard core writing, teaching, coaching, momma-ing machine. {you are also allowed to take breaks}

Ah, the old fall cold. Sorry for the 'wimpy, woozy, whiny' (my favorite). Next time, when you feel it coming, use Zicam-I think it works great! And thanks for your terrific sense of humor!

I love this poem, especially the alliteration! It will make a great mentor poem. Maybe it's time to succumb to the enticements of the sandman, drop that writing pen, and snooze!

Few words, but a perfect picture of your condition and determination.
Responding two days later I hope that you are feeling better already.

I like your “W's.” Wasn't there a story about a monkey who was wimpy? You showed it to me. One of your favorites. I would sleep and dream of my next piece………………..
