a writing workout

I only wish writing burned calories.

I've been writing every day for over a month -- 33 days.
Some days for twenty minutes, and other days closer to an hour.
A habit has been formed and it's hard to just give it up.

Writing about moments.  Sharing an idea.  Telling a story.
Capturing a feeling.  Reflecting on today.  Crafting a poem.
Writing about writing about writing about writing.

Writing and thinking and tapping my fingers.
Adding and changing and fixing it just right.
Copying and playing and pasting again.

If only writing burned calories.

    I am glad too that you are blogging daily. It's like reading a small greeting from you every day. Theoretically, the more time you spend writing, the less time yo have to eat. That's healthy.

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

I love sharing book titles with close friends, so I'm happy you are here! I want to share a book that you must add to your to-be-read list. Ruth Ayres has a brand new book titled  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers   published by Stenhouse Publishers. It's another must read from Ruth. There are many professional development books available to learn about mastering our craft of teaching.   However, there are only a few that make a true impact -- and this is one book that weaves raw truth, research, practical ideas, and story all in one {cute} little package.  In  Enticing Hard-To-Reach Writers , Ruth allows her worlds to collide during the creation:  "In this book, I entwine my three story lines as educator, momma, and writer." (p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing.
