We're sanding down the kitchen table to paint it. It will then be revealed in a New Bold Color on this very blog some time in the mysterious near future.

Grading Papers

Grading Papers, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Stopped by the Coffee Affair where Jon grades papers between picking up kids from lacrosse and soccer. He was completely unfazed as I shot about ten pictures. Not totally happy with the fuzzy edges on his head, but I like the hands. Also, I prefer the b&w version... but he likes color so, this is for Jon.

Brave Writer

My life has been dominated by my business (bravewriter.com) this last week. Registrations, email questions, online class instruction, discussions about the Civil Rights Movement with junior high kids, teaching Advanced Comp at the co-op, taxes, registering to become an LLC...

This book is the genesis of my business: The Writer's Jungle. It's a "survivor's guide to writing with kids." Featured here is the notebook that houses the curricula. (I'm noticing a pattern - I like lime green.)

Shout out to dalissa for my cool new logo!
