Back to It

Well, it's been a brutal summer--in fact, it seemed like no summer at all--but God faithfully saw me through, and now I'm hitting my stride again.

A middle school math teacher by day, I'm back at it with some 120 students and three different preps.

But on the writing side, I'm continuing with my weekly BAD MOM column, with a plan to mix in a little editing work from time to time. I also have a new essay on NCV, so hop over and take a look.

Last week I joined a new critique group, which will help discipline me to keep working on that novel I'm 80+ pages into. During the regular school year, I try to be at my computer by 5:30 am for an hour of writing before work.

I'd love to hear from you. What kinds of dreams are you pursuing in the midst of your everyday life?
