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).

Done for Monday...

I wish I had it in me to squeeze out two more essays--half of Tuesday's quota--but I don't. I am pleased, however, that I got everything marked for tomorrow, including one essay that I thought I didn't have but in fact did (so I had eight to do today, not seven). And I still managed to get them done in the time I allotted for myself today: I wanted to get them done by 7:00, and I did.

Not that I'm doing that well on keeping the time per essay down, however: that's eight essays in approximately five hours. WAY too much time. I don't know how to get it down to two per hour, but I really do have to manage that.

Of course, I've been saying that for years, and I'm still not able to do it. Sigh.

But the fact that I can knock off for the evening now is good. I haven't slept for shit for nights now, and it's having a toll on my ability to concentrate and make sense. (It's also slowing down my typing, as I make more errors than usual.)

Still. Done is beautiful. And somewhere tomorrow, I'll find time to grade the four for Tuesday--and maybe a few of the ones for Wednesday. I know, I know, but hope springs eternal.

No more blogging tonight, though. I'm wrapping it up. More tomorrow.
