I’ve been thinking about what my goals are for the coming year(s). I want to get a regular writing practice started. Rather than come home and plop in front of the TV or spend all night looking up fun things to do in my classroom, I’d like to devote just a bit of time every day to write. Even if it’s just an hour.

I also second the person up above who said they want to keep up with the 2 year novel class this year. That’s another goal for me.

Finally, I’d like to take part in NANOWRIMO in 2013. I did it (and won) in 2011, but skipped it this year.

I know why I’m not writing now:

I did Nanowrimo last year (and got past 50,000), but my story that I was writing just kind of fell into a hole. I haven’t had the heart to either look at it again or start something new. I’ve got the itch right now and desperately WANT to write, but I can’t seem work up the nerve to start something new. I really liked my last idea, but felt it kind of degenerated into this mushy romance novel when that wasn’t what I wanted to write in the first place.

Of course, I might also not be writing right now because I teach 4th grade and my brain can just about handle “Fire bad. Tree pretty” (tm Joss Whedon) at the end of the day.

But I can feel that need to write starting to take over my brain. I just need to either fish or cut bait on the last one. I think cut bait is the smarter move, it’s just difficult when I put so much into it. :dry:

I’m here…like some others have said I haven’t been here in awhile, but was so excited for the new boards. Hello to everyone and hope to see you around the boards.
