I Write, Therefore I Am

I often find myself thinking about what to write, coming up with extraordinarily witty turns of phrase and verbal banter. The problem is, that more often than not, I allow life and laziness to interfere with the process of putting the proverbial pen to paper. There are always papers to grade and lessons to plan; there is laundry to be folded (but not be put away), TV to watch, and cats to pet. 

This year I have undertaken a book with over 300 writing prompts. They are random: some serious, some funny, and some just plain weird. But they have caused me to be flexible in my thinking, and to quickly jot down thoughts and feelings creatively, and an occasional haiku about jellyfish. 

So I begin blogging again. New, and improved. Trust me.
