The World Needs You (Ruth’s SOLS)

A few days ago I read this line: The world needs more people being themselves. You know, it's easy to get caught up in wanting to be more like this person or wishing to be more like that person. It's easy to think, if only I could be like that slicer. Or if only I… Continue reading The World Needs You (Ruth’s SOLS)

Writing Workshop is Worth It (Ruth’s SOLS)

After school I went to my friend Jami's house. It's been too long since we've seen each other and I found myself looking forward to Monday afternoon all weekend . I called her after lunch today and said, "Will you share the beginning of your YA fiction with me if I share my first chapter… Continue reading Writing Workshop is Worth It (Ruth’s SOLS)

Uh-Oh (Ruth’s SOLS)

I just started reading a new YA novel. And I'm hooked. For a normal person this wouldn't be a problem. For me it is detrimental. See when I'm hooked, like I'm hooked with this book, I keep reading and reading and reading. Laundry needs folded. I read instead. My lunch needs packed. I read instead.… Continue reading Uh-Oh (Ruth’s SOLS)

Morning Love (Ruth’s SOLS)

I love to get up early on Saturday mornings. When Stacey and I were working on the book it was a habit I developed. I could score a few hours on Saturday morning for writing which didn't steal from family time. Now, a year after the book was complete, I still find myself getting up… Continue reading Morning Love (Ruth’s SOLS)

Why Write Tonight? (Ruth’s SOLS)

It is 10:57. I just got home and my bones are tired. Why am I facing a computer screen and writing, even though I left the house at 6:15 am, led writing workshop in four classrooms, joined two teachers in reflective practice meetings, planned a writing celebration, started a new book study with a group… Continue reading Why Write Tonight?

Spoiling Steph (Ruth’s SOLS)

Tonight Andy and I spoiled Stephanie. Together, just the three of us, we bought new gear for softball season. Pink cleats. Pink mit. Pink gear bag. Not-pink ling socks. Black shorts. She loves softball. I like seeing this part of her develop. I'm thankful she has a place where her strong-will, competitive nature, and drive… Continue reading Spoiling Steph (Ruth’s SOLS)
