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).

Very quick

Haven't had time to blog today, just got home from dance class and have to put in at least an hour of work tonight--and still get up at 5 a.m. to finish everything for tomorrow's classes. I don't understand what's happened the last two days, that the grading has gone so much more slowly than it did Monday when I was home. Usually it's the other way: there are fewer fun distractions at work, so I usually work better--assuming I am not interrupted by other work and minor details like having to teach. I don't recall many interruptions today, but I'm still scrambling to be ready for tomorrow's classes. Oh argh.

Did have a pretty great laugh with Paul over a sentence from Martin Chuzzlewit that can be wildly misread, depending on the meaning one chooses to attach to one particular word. A little levity is good for the soul.

But it's getting later by the second (funny how that happens) and the rotten cats steadfastly refuse to grade papers for me. They keep telling me its a matter of principle, but I think they're just lazy.
