I was looking through all the Blogger posts, and my Live Journal account.
Abandoned sites are just so sad. Equally as sad is not having anyone read your blogs. Hmmm.
I suppose that is why the blogs should really be about the writer and not about some abstract Ideal Reader. My Weebly helps me keep focused on my writing projects, and I get a fine sense of accomplishment when I post a blog entry every day.
My hope is that this Blogger site will help me focus on teaching writing. As a teacher, I rarely have time to reflect on what is working. The plan isn't to rant about specific students, which is highly unprofessional, but to think about how assignments are going.
My Live Journal account was basically a journal of how depressed and unfulfilled I get sometimes. However, since I am doing what I love, I haven't been journaling for like two years. Instead, I am spending my time reading and writing and teaching and raising my kids.
So, to the point of this blog. I am ordering the text books for my creative writing class next semester. The Creative Writing books are all new to me, so this course will prove to be quite exciting! In the other class, I am only adding one new book.
That is all I have. As soon as I start to read the textbooks, I hope to post weekly updates on ideas for the course.

Hello, just browsing through.
ReplyDeleteYes, blogging is not what it once was...like back in the 2000s I guess. That seemed to be the peak for me. I've left behind my share of dead blogs. I try to leave a sign-off post though.
