I don't think I have introduced myself yet. I can relate to grading essays and papers. I have taught secondary and college level English. I always believed in writing with my students. I am working on a novel and I just started two blogs that I envision being helpful for everyone especially teachers and writers. http://womanlution.wordpress.com & http://rheteffects.wordpress.com.

I have always considered teaching & writing as two dueling passions within me. I look forward to being a part of the group.

I teach EFL in China.

Hi! New member here. Wondering if anyone teaches EFL writing out there. Would be great to start a forum on that.

Hi, I'm rebuilding my profile on She Writes and joined your group b/c I can completely relate to the guilt over grading student essays, versus editing my novel.  I'd also love to hear about any ideas about incorporating online media to enhance a writing class. I often wonder if I should have them start a blog on Wordpress, the future it seems to me, for my students is web writing, and I think the rules are different.  Thoughts?

"Alison - check out She Writes Query Critique v 2.0 group. I've gotten good feedback there in the past. Also, Agent Query Connect is a great source too (but be prepared to pay it forward there and offer others critiques in exchange for your own)."
