By tiny humans, I mean the five 4th grade classes I have the honor of teaching creative writing to. I have five separate classes and about, oh, 98 students that I work with each Friday.
It's wonderful. It's terrifying. It's gratifying. It's exhausting...all wrapped up into one. And the absolute greatest gift from this year-long assignment I'll get is the fire it's lit inside to get writing again. Wooo!
Tomorrow kicks off my second attempt at Nanowrimo...you know...that month-long event where you produce 50,000 words by killing yourself each and every day. I'm excited about it and hope that I get some good, quality words out...in addition to sticking it out for once. I think I made it four whole days in 2010!
Taking a small, month-long break from the Middle Grade scene and pursuing a dark urban fantasy vibe for the Nano trip. But I'll be back!
Happy Nano-ing!
