After seven years of subbing, applications and interviews, I have acquired a teaching job! This is great and I'm thrilled, but I'm worried my writing will now move to the back burner. I know it will.
While I was typing out long range goals and lesson plans during the summer, I was also writing at a maddening pace. I had begun a novel in April and was determined to have the first draft finished before school started. Goal acheived! I did one read through with edits and have now passed it on to family members to read while I get to know my class and get on top of my planning.
I hope to have my next book ready by spring. I believe I mentioned that it has ties to Jane Austen's book Emma. I can't wait to have it out and to get started on something new. In the mean time, I'll be learning right along with my students and trying to fit in a little writing here and there. Happy New School Year everyone!
