A Renewed Spirit

I remember sitting at my work desk, searching tirelessly for grad schools. I needed a new direction and I wanted to get a Master’s Degree in something that was completely different from teaching physical education/health education. It wasn’t that I didn’t think I needed to master teaching , but I had to find a way to dig myself out of the sadness of that school year. I didn’t know it at the time, but working toward a Masters in Writing would prove to be just the rejuvination I needed to reclaim my spirit and regain my perspective on who I am professionally. 

Next up- exploring some non-fiction opportunities, tackling a short story challenge, and continuing with my second novel. Not sure if it’s going to be titled Friday Nights in Falls Canyon, Falls Canyon Friday Nights, or something entirely different. I also wasn’t sure if I’d revise Summer Road, but in the last few days I’ve had a renewed interest in that too. I thought it might be too much to try and fix- but what it’s lacking in plot may just be saved by this newfound energy and desire to see it succeed.

I get the DailyOM email each day, and today’s seemed especially timely:
