THINGS HAVE CHANGED:

Since I am no longer a professor in the classroom, this blog is changing focus. (I may at some future date change platforms, too, but not yet). I am now (as of May 2019) playing around with the idea of using this blog as a place to talk about the struggles of writing creatively. Those of you who have been following (or dipping in periodically) know that I've already been doing a little of that, but now the change is official. I don't write every day--yet--so I won't post to the blog every day--yet. But please do check in from time to time, if you're interested in this new phase in my life.


Hi! And you are...?

I am interested to see the fluctuation in my readers--but I don't know who is reading the blog, how you found it, and why you find it interesting. I'd love to hear from you! Please feel free to use the "comment" box at the end of any particular post to let me know what brought you to this page--and what keeps you coming back for more (if you do).

Quick update

I woke up--just because I did, not because of the alarm--at 5:30. Spent some time lying there, considering whether I might fall back to sleep and finally realized I probably wouldn't, so went ahead and got up to go to the seminar. I'm incredibly glad I did. It was fascinating, entertaining (the speaker was wildly funny, made me laugh out loud numerous times)--and very useful in terms of giving me things to think about to improve my pedagogy. I'll note more about it all later, once the main ideas have had a chance to percolate through, but truly, it was a terrific event. Every now and then, being "good" pays off in inexpectedly wonderful ways. Today was fine example of that.
