Lovin' my busy writerly life

Lots happening this month.

I've been sucked into the National Novel Writing Month (nanowrimo) of November. Truly thrilling to watch a novel develop before my very eyes. Just a vague outline to begin, which I've strayed from more than not. I've paused for the night at 26,660 words!

The other wonderful writing project is my Proyecto de Escritura Creativa/Creative Writing Project. Fifteen student invitations have gone out asking them to bring their parents to an information meeting. Two of those meetings happened this week. Six budding writers have signed up so far. Two more are definitely in but just need to turn in the commitment form. Hopefully at least four more will sign on and turn the form in by the week after our school pauses for Thanksgiving Break. I'm thinking 12 is the magic number.

I've sent the finalized choice of dates to the bilingual author who will let me know which date she can come to my school and conduct a workshop with the students from the Writing Project (aka WP) shortly before Summer Vacation. I was so lucky to stumble across this author's website; can't wait to have her come work with the WP kids!

 Short blog. Sweet life, which includes a good measure of writing. May the same come to you who read this... and to all a good night... zzzzzzzz!
