The writing process can be grueling, hard work, and thankless. Although I love writing, I know it is a very difficult process. Blogging has made it much easier. Blogging everyday is really just a way to work on different aspects to reflection, ideas or thoughts. It is freeing. No editing, a raw manuscript. Stream of consciousness.

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed ~ Ernest Hemingway

 

In addition to the blog, I am writing in different venues. As a principal, I write newsletters, emails, District and State documents. I write for my graduate students. I am writing a book. I write and write and write. Some of it is good and some is not.

If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or tools) to write. Simple as that ~ Stephen King

 

Reading helps so much. I read everyday. I read blogs, papers, articles, and books. I read whatever I can get my hands on. I read for pleasure, knowledge, and even just challenge myself. Reading compliments writing. They literally go hand in hand.

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple ~ Jack Kerouac
