I’ve been so busy with writing books, deadlines, making bears, taking pictures, :) that I haven’t been teaching too many full-class online workshops, except on an individual basis. A publisher signed up seventeen of her authors to take my conflict course, so I’m happily critiquing student exercises.
Not all writers can teach. Not all teachers can teach. But ever since I was a kid, I wanted to teach. When I was in 6th grade, I was in Teachers of Tomorrow, and taught a class on artwork to 2nd graders and to 3rd graders later. It was a fun experience, and I always thought I’d be a teacher.
My dad discouraged it because there was no money in teaching, he said. So after getting a masters in business and accounting, working as a personnel officer, and doing so many different things, I started teaching writers how to hone their writing.
And I love it. But I’d kind of gotten away from it because I’ve been so busy with writing.
One of the things that I love about teaching, is it reminds me how to edit my own work as I’m critiquing. Wow, am I doing all the things I tell others to do???
So I’m off to critique some more lessons, loving it, and still trying to get my word count in for A Silver Wolf Christmas! I reached 40,000 words last night, which means I’m halfway done, and worked on 3 bears!!!

Off to catch up on student lessons than word count.
Have a great Monday!!

So busy, You're just a busy little beaver. I hope you take advantage of being challenged to do the ALS ICE BUCKET challenge which you've been asked to do. IT's a cooling experience. Just don't get any bears or books wet. Just how you will do it. That's another challenge to come your way.
LOL, unless one of my wolves show up, it would be kind of hard to do. And don't you even think about doing it when I visit. I will probably be cold enough. LOL
