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).

Purely personal

Yesterday was a complete loss in terms of getting any writing, or even much reading done. And today, I started trying to come up with stuff for the website that's being build for the tutoring business--but very little of that was writing. Instead, I'm mostly looking for images--and trying to wrap my head around what it means to market the business, which requires that I develop an entirely different way of looking at things and get rid of some of my instinctive resistance to ideas. For instance, having a Twitter account. I created an Instagram account, but the problem with that is--even though I've figured out how to post just text, not images--I have zero clue what to post, as long as I have no one to actually tutor. We have a Facebook page: same problem. Add a Twitter account? That's then three platforms on which I have no earthly clue what to say at this stage in the game.

It's the classic thing: I need clients in order to have the stuff I need to get clients.

But I'm now going to turn my attention to purely personal writing. My journal calls.
