Brain Overload

From my sketchpad: Students I've had doing various things

Ever have one of those days where there's just so many things going on in your head it's almost impossible to actually concentrate on any one thought? That's me today (and this happens to me quite frequently). Usually when I have days like this, I need to keep a notebook handy because often I'll have about a hundred ideas flood me at once. I've gotten to that age in life where if I don't write it down as soon as I think of it, I'll never be able to get it back later. So, I walk around like a complete goofball with a notebook and pen in hand, praying I won't forget which notebook I put it in when I want the information later (which happens more than I care to admit).

Anyway, one of those Lord knows how many things in my mind, is to create another website in 2016 devoted entirely to children and including but not limited to: the best advice I can give about helping struggling young readers & writers; a list of recommended books that I've read myself with students and feedback they've given me on how they liked them (or not) and why; wordplay games children and parents can do together at home; the children's books I'm writing and any artwork for them; and finally, various silly quotes and jokes for kids to enjoy. I'll keep you posted on this upcoming project and can't wait to see you there! 

Note: I will also keep this site up and current with writing for a grown-up audience! Whew! Glad I got that out without all the other clutter in my noggin getting in the way!
