The final eight weeks of the school year are ramping up and I am about to leap back into the learning fray. I’m not terribly excited. I’m more in the writing headspace than the teaching one these days, and while I am more than capable of doing my job, I am more interested in creating lasting and legendary fiction. Of course that means writing prolifically. I’m serious about that aspect of it. See, my belief is that I am a writer who gets better through practice. I am not, as I once thought, a one hit wonder kind of producer.
The story I am working on has a birthdate attached to it–if only in my mind. I expect to be done in three months. That means finished draft in one and two more for making it pretty. Doable. With practice the 6 month novel should become a simple science to me. Then all I need to do is lean on my teaching background in order to show everyone else the way.
Some Thoughts:
- Somehow Tiger Woods remains relevant. I think that is because he has such name recognition in a sport that struggles to generate personalities.
- Giants have made no further moves in free agency. Come on, man.
