Weekly Challenges
Some writers live a solitary life. Many write in isolation and put their work out into the world only when they feel it's, well, perfect. As a reader of the Two Writing Teachers Blog, I have a feeling you are aware that Ruth and I have been trying to ensure that teachers of writing do… Continue reading Weekly Challenges
Ruth’s SOLS: October.
Here's a Slice of Life that I can hardly wait to experience . . . (Is it a SOLS if it's yet to come? I suppose, since I've experienced it in the past!) I walk outside and around me I hear the last of the birds waiting to fly to warmer places. As my walk… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: October.

Sleepless SOLS Originally uploaded by teachergal Just a little picture of what the start of my day has been like...
Ruth’s SOLS: Overwhelmed.
Why is it that in the midst of being incredibly overwhelmed, one is unlikely to notice? In the harried state of balancing too many roles and expectations and necessities and changes, life flies by, barely more than a blur? And then, when one finally does manage to surface, the feelings of guilt from the things… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Overwhelmed.

The Big Picture: Happy Mail!!!
This is the final post of The Big Picture Series. (Ruth stated hers was the last, but after I received some mail from her today, I decided we needed to have just one more post in this Series.)

SOLS: Mine Forever.
Prior to adult writing time, I read aloud Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born. Then, thinking about SOLSC today, I decided to attempt to write about being given my son. It didn't work out so well as a narrative, so I switched genres. Here it is, in a… Continue reading SOLS: Mine Forever.

Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?
Yesterday afternoon, my oldest daughter and I were driving home from school shopping. Our conversation was one in which I was asking questions regarding important info that she should know -- things like telephone number; address; parents' names -- and she was answering. Then came this snippet: Me: What's my job? Hannah: What do you mean?… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?
Stacey’s S.O.L.S.
I spent an inordinate amount of time picking out the exact supplies I needed for my students' Meeting Area Supplies Boxes. I was almost set, but realized I needed contact lens solution. Hence, I parked my wagon by the end-cap of the aisle while I went to pick out the solution. I came back and… Continue reading Stacey’s S.O.L.S.
