Have you guys seen the New York Times article (Friday) about "A Teacher's Worth"? It is MIND BOGGLING! See my blog post for more details - it is truly fascinating and I'd love your input and…

In one month, my husband and I are moving seven hours away from my beloved teaching job. I don't mean to always write about teaching, but somehow the pain of detatching myself from my students sneaks its way into my essays. Is…

Today I posted my favorite 2011 kids' graphic novels. I'd love to hear what yours are! Personally, I'm new to the graphic novel scene and am constantly AMAZED at how good some of them are. What do you think? Please join the…

Meryl Jaffe said… Hi Christa. I visited your lovely blog and tried leaving a comment but (twice) when hitting send, the page went blank. Don't know if you got it so I am including it below:
Dear Christa,
I have not gotten around to journal writing. But have taken steps towards leaving a legacy for my kids: I do stupid unintentional things. And trust me, I have some doozies! I too am a teacher and have even had my kids in my class (having lived in a small Connecticut town). So they know me on many levels.
I told my kids that at my funeral my eulogy is to share my doozies with 'the world', to smile and laugh just a bit, because they know I love them and they know I have always been there for them.
Not a bad legacy, I figure, and one to make them smile- they have such lovely smiles!
Great post. I came because you and I seem to comprise the handful of teachers who post comments on the Teacher Writer pages of She Writes and I love your comments. Thought I'd check out your blog and glad I did.
I will come back!
All the best,
Meryl Jaffe

christa allan said… - HI JUDITH! I'm so blessed to have friends-both cyber and not!-to share in this excitement with me. It's still surreal, even seeing it on the shelf myself. Perhaps when you get to know me better, the wacky will seem "spot on" as my editor says!

Judith Hope said… - Hello Christa - Cd I add my congratulations ... what a great start to your life as a writer. I read that your writing is 'bright' .. amongst other things. How good is that! I consider that to imply a range of compliments - all of the highest.
I am intrigued, looking through pre-release stuff ... intrigued at how you have combined in your novel the strong story line, (very much set in the extremes and the whacky of it all, it seems), and your references to faith and prayer ... without 'killing' either!
Hope you are having a much deserved, greatest of times with the launch of your debit book.

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Crista, I put your cover (grabbed from Amazon) back up on the thread in a 300 width size, which looks pretty nice. If you prefer to put it up yourself just do so and ping me and I'll delete my post with it.
Really lovely cover, btw!

- Not Alaska or even Nebraska. Say, Illinois maybe? :-) But you took it down altogether! You can put it back up - just reply to your own post and I think it will slip in there. And for downsizing it you can just add width="150" (or maybe "200"?) to the code

Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'I could only write my memoir…After my mother had died'
My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…

Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…
