Making Something Out of Nothing

I'm skipping writing a blog post tonight. For numerous reasons: I'm exhausted, there are some things going on I can't talk about, I'm feeling a bit negative/worried tonight and don't want to put that out there, but first and foremost...I'm just not feeling it. I have a few ideas swirling in my head, but I can't quite get a solid grasp on any of them enough to make it into a whole post. (by the by, that's such a frustrating feeling) However, after yesterday's reflection on routines, I am forcing myself to type something...in essence, to make something out of nothing. Why? Because if I at least type something I'm keeping that routine...even if I don't really have anything to really say.

So, I'll leave you with this final thought that brought joy to my day:

THE REAL BOY by Anne Ursu released today. It's a book I loved and I hope you will too.

I feel exactly the same way! I have something drafted, but the end isn't coming together, so I'm reading other people's posts instead! Hope your worries get resolved for the best.

Why This Blog?

I needed a place to play with my writing, keep it all together, model for my students, think through my ideas, and find them all easily when I need to refer back to them. It's a place for me to discover through writing what the important elements are for me. It's a place to share with others what happens in my classroom, and for me to push myself to be even better at what I do. It's a place for me to get into a habit and become more of a writer. If I need to be a reader to teach reading, I must become more of a writer to be more effective at teaching writing.
