Jaysus, but that was a mad, mad day at the office. Again, the idea that the ELA course of study needs a full time instructor is driven home to me, like a spike in the head driven.
But, I have done some writing tonight, and I’m catching up on social media now. Note I did my writing first. That’s important, like eating your vegetables important.
Today there are a couple of really interesting journals that I want to draw your attention to, and they’ve given me some pause.
The first comes from Sean Craven, talking about the idea that his self concept has shifted. It’s an eloquent essay, and given my background, it bears some commentary.
The second comes from Miranda Suri as she comments on the death of Steve Jobs, and his reminisces about the quality of his life.
Both of these posts have given me pause. I’ll be thinking about my responses and working on them very shortly.
All the VP Interviews have been conducted! Yes! Now I just have to wait for those 4 interviews to come back to me so I can post them. If you would like to apply peer pressure to those who haven’t gotten back to me, feel free to use the comments…
And I suppose I should talk a little bit about the Occupy ______ movement. Yup. I do have some thoughts. I know you aren’t surprised.
There should be a write up about the DC 52 reboot, now that some people have posted material to get you thinking. Yup, they did it wrong. Remember Napoleon leaving Russia, and Hitler’s forces leaving Russia–doomed repetition. Why does no one ever read about past mistakes?
Finally, I know i should talk to you about how my writing has changed as I’ve been gaining expertise hours, and how a lot of the study I’ve been doing lately about fiction is character-driven. And there should be a post round-up of friend’s writing.
So, I guess this was a get organized thread for me. For you, check out the excellent links, and stay tuned as I work my way through this material.
