I am excited to start this journey as a teacher/writer. I have always loved to write. As a young child I spent countless hours at the kitchen table writing stories. This was long before kids were encouraged to spell words the way they sounded, even if it wasn't right, so my poor mom was bombarded with constant, "How do you spell _____?" I continued writing for myself and for school assignments throughout my life and have dreamed of publishing something someday, but my life as a mom, wife, step-mom, teacher, etc. has not allowed me the time to put my ideas on paper and do anything with them. I have countless ideas swirling around in my head. Everything from creative non-fiction, to self-help, to poetry, to children's books. 

I am eager to get started with #TeachersWrite and see what I can do. Thanks to my patient mother, I am a very good speller today! ;)

I hope to do some of my writing on this blog, sharing ideas, sketching out my thinking, and sharing about how my writing is going. 

Who knows were this journey will take me?
