Later, me trying to balance writing and teaching high school. The fights during the first year of teaching, with NO CLUE as to how to manage. (And yes- we have sheep- they were in front of my portable!) No time to cook- gaining weight. Never knowing how to balance the HOURS of grading- taking so long to write meticulous comments on their papers, only to have students crumple their essays and shove them into their back packs... And all the while my novel waits at home... still waiting for me. <br /><br />Even though I haven't clicked on the other posts, I know the end of this. You have a marvelous book I can't wait to read in January! You have done it! You are PROOF that it can be done. That I can teach, that I can continue to help those God puts in my class for as long as He wants me to teach. That I can keep honing my craft, and keep writing. And someday, I will be able to write a series of posts as well, about how I made the transition. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing. And thank you for being a teacher ALL those years. I know that your students are proud to know that YOU taught them. You made a difference in their lives.The Newbie Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121446903045092728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-86835870462209207162010-06-12T19:55:48.778-04:002010-06-12T19:55:48.778-04:00Hi Beth,
