Making time to write. It's just like making time to read, exercise and to eat healthy. Starting something new is always the most difficult for me. Once I get started I get on a roll, for a while, and then it's maintaining a routine that again becomes a challenge. It's so easy to make excuses or find things I just HAVE to do. I am hoping that joining this team of teachers for Writing Camp with Kate Messner will be the motivator I need to begin writing. Writing. Writing daily. Writing for me and writing so I can be a better writing teacher. I have my colleague and friend who I know I can look to for support and my new Twitter friends who are passionate and encouraging about reading and writing.
I am committing to 15 minutes a day of writing. Because I have never been a writer I'm not sure if I will have better thoughts and output in the morning or night. I have the flexiblity during the summer, so I WILL make it work. I am excited to embark on this #teacherswrite adventure and know I will learn so much about myself and writing. Wish me luck!
