"Hi all. At this time of year, I often find myself dragging a bit. Spring break is weeks away, and the weekends go by a bit too quickly to allow for the catching of breath. So, I turn to writing. As I work on revamping a…"

The value of ritual in teaching and learning
If there is one thing I have noticed about habits, it is this: they are built, one day at a time. So, if I plan to develop a blog, I had better start blogging. Forget that the draft I began in earnest last Wednesday has yet to be completed because I lack for pretty pictures to complement each paragraph. Forget that I could write something beautiful and profound if only I had the time, because if only may never come, but time certainly will, and five months from now I don’t want to be…See More

NaNoWriMo warm-up

For me, I can say with some degree of certainty, that It May Not Happen, for I have always been a bit slow and careful. Still, I delight in the community. In the spirit of delight, I have chosen to post the words of a budding fictional character here: Fruit of the MorningSee More

Beginning the novel
It's one of those truths that is so simple that its stark honesty is astonishing when it stares you in the face: how much easier it is, to imagine the novel, than to actually give birth to Chapter One. Still, chapter one exists, however drafty it may be. I have written more on this strange and elusive process here: http://oneiran.blogspot.com/2011/04/beginning-novel.htmlSee More

Words for luck
