Reflections of a Teacher and Writer

Image
  I will confess that I did indeed disappear from this blog for a while. Ah, blogging. It is difficult to keep up with while also writing books, poems, short stories, etc. This past year, I added yet another hat to my ever-growing collection: teaching.  Yes, I took on a full-time teaching position. For the past year, I have been teaching High School English. If you are a teacher, then you already understand why my blog has been a tumbleweed in the wind. I never fully grasped before how much professional development, overtime hours, and exhaustion go into working as the teacher of record for a full year. I'll be going back next year, so I can forget about writing anything other than brief snippets of poetry for a while... hopefully not forever.  In college, I wrote my thesis paper about the teacher shortage. I outlined causes and research that backed up my findings, as well as possible solutions. Little did I know how intense that shortage was to become and how useful my research ab

Most Recent Endeavors

Image
Dear readers, I would like to update everyone about my most recent writing endeavors. Aside from the odd bit of poetry I may or may not publish, I have not started any new projects of late. I am still writing periodically and updating my series on Channillo, however!  As seen here: https://channillo.com/series/tania-of-acona/ I also continue to advertise my series, The Broken Woman Cycle, for those who have yet to read these three delightful books.  Observe: https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Woman-Cycle-Book/dp/B08GM8RH97 That is not to say that I have no future books planned. Indeed, I have several in the works. However, I am focusing on my fantasy series for the time being. History has shown me the folly of working on too many projects at once!  I hope to have lots of quality content available for your reading pleasure soon! Keep checking in! Happy Reading!

Violence

  Violence Violence rules their hearts and minds Blood and bone and destroyed lives Violence the savior Hatred the flag “Wars must be won, let peace stay undone.” A better world is out of reach As they stab and shoot and continue to preach We collapse as they tear apart The hope and love inside our hearts Empathy has no place In this disappointing human race So much thirst for human blood Gnashing teeth and a self-righteous judge No utopia of future advance When unity has no chance Violence rules their hearts and minds Blood and bone and destroyed lives
