So...I need to write, huh?

After sobbing during a recent read of my incredibly gifted student teacher's narrative writing and poetry, I realized (with her encouragement) that I need to write more. I GRADE a lot of writing, but I haven't really given ye olde pen a workout creatively. Perhaps I have spent too much of my early writing career focusing on the angst of love and love lost. Perhaps I have spent too much of my latter writing career folding undies and making casseroles and being a teacher. Nonetheless, I shall write. I shall not write well at first...I am sure my creative juices will not flow readily. I will focus on the mundane with the hopes that my word choice will carry me through.
