Sometimes I blog things so I don't forget them.

The only thing you need to know in order to write a good story is that those deep, dark fears and insecurities and loathings you keep tucked away deep down are actually universal truths.

Writing

Usually going back and reading things I wrote years ago induces vomiting for me. But last night, as I was planning my poetry unit for my Sophomores, I went back and took a look at some things, "poems" if you will, that I'd saved; and I have to say, they were not that bad. Actually made me wish I had stuck to the writing thing. Oh well.
