Everyday I give my students a list of things they must accomplish before the next day. The intention is that they use their home time productively. Then I come home and watch trashy TV. Time to put my mind where my mouth is.

Assignment 12: Find an Epic Writing Project
So I have been writing poems and the beginning of stories and it's time to embark on a project that will allow me to open up a little bit more. I am not ready to write "my great novel" or even "my great picture book", but I could be if I started a little bit closer to home. I have an idea for another blog that is merely a vehicle for a longer piece of writing that I cannot even imagine doing in word. I really am about to go through the most interesting personal period of my life since I moved to New York 11 and a half years ago. That was the last time EVERYTHING changed. All at once. And next June - 2011 - it's going to again. But first I have to turn 30, plan a wedding, find a new job, and leave New York. Luckily, I have a year and a half to get it together. Thank goodness for long engagements. I can still use this blog for smaller projects that involve spinning my mental wheels. Thank goodness for multiple free blogs. I like to compartmentalize things as much as possible.
