Okay, so I realized that this blog is attached to my profile, which means all of my students can easily find it. I guess I will have to keep my contemplations more educational for now...until I create another google account!
In keeping with that, I return from Borders with many books to read. I purchased Winesburg, Ohio since I am teaching that as well in the fall. I also purchased Love the One You're With about a woman who is married but then runs into an old lover who broke her heart several years earlier...now she has to decide if her life is really as it should be. Hmmm...should be a good read. I also bought The Gathering, which seems to be about a woman who returns to her home in Ireland to attend her brother's funeral and confront some secrets from her past. All sound good; I don't know which I will read first.
I only have a few days, and then I will return- full force - to writing my own book. I think the hardest day will be Monday. That is when I plan to make a solid outline of how the story line will go. I am fairly certain I have solidified the ending...now I just need all the pieces to arrive there! I am confident, though, and very excited.
It is raining right now, with some force...and I love it. The rain pelts on the roof and on the windows so that I hear music and I feel a calmness in my body. The breeze coming through the windows is light and cool, almost cold. All my favorite pieces of a perfect night...well, almost. Now, given my continuous exhaustion (I swear I think I acquired Laney's mono!), I am going to sleep. I am really anticipating it because I can leave the window open, turn on the fan, hear the rain, feel the breeze...and drift off to dream my favorite dreams. Ahhh, now the rain is coming in torrents. drawing me into a trance that distracts my concentration on the screen. As it becomes nothing but a blur...
