long time no blog...

it has been an embarassingly long time since i actually blogged--this is not good for a writing teacher! :) i tell my students that daily writing is a great exercise, but i haven't been practicing what i preach.

i am feeling a bit down tonight, and i don't know why exactly. i found out i didn't get on a CT i tried out for, but the designer didn't send out a rejection notice or make any announcement that i can see. i found out because one of the other applicants had a blinkie in her signature. i didn't expect to make it really, but i hate that i didn't even get the courtesy of a "thanks but no thanks", ya know? oh, well...one of my CTs seems to have come almost to a halt, and i am sad about that, too. i liked the designers stuff, but i don't know that she will be designing much longer because of some personal issues....so i am looking for another CT. i did apply to be on faith true's CT, and she gave a GREAT minikit away as part of the application. here it is:



otherwise, school has started back & i am so not in the swing of things!!! oh, and i have had a sore throat for 4 days now, and i am sick of my throat hurting, especially since it is my only real symptom.

It's about time you blogged! I cannot begin to tell you how many ct's I have been turned down for! Ultimately, whoever picks you up will be a lucky designer!

Welcome back and now do as you tell your students, write. Especially since you are such a talented writer. Sorry to hear about the CTs and it would have been nice to have gotten some kind of a notice; even if it was a rejection, just so you would know what was going one. But you will find another I am sure.
Take care of that throat and gargle with warm salt water, it might help.
