Teaching hasn't worked out like I'd hoped. Writing has progressed, though slowly. But gaining my friends here has been a nice bonus. <br /><br />I'd love to teach creative writing again. I only got a chance to do it last spring after school for ten weeks. <br /><br />@ The Words Crafter, it feel like it's been a lot harder to get a job than it should be. I like the idea of being a published author teaching. <br /><br />I like reading old posts when I have the time too.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-15014675634102316502010-08-31T17:07:12.349-07:002010-08-31T17:07:12.349-07:00I agree with Old Kitty, soon, you'll be able t...I agree with Old Kitty, soon, you'll be able to teach what you really love.

"<br /><br />The authors I'm referring to here don't have blogs. <br /><br />I'm not sure why, but I often find myself getting along with writers... So I've known a couple offline, online, and now I follow a couple on blogs. So I have witnessed a wide range of writer attitudes towards readers. <br /><br />Terry Pratchett's professor's a the unseen university believe that students should be put in proximity of books and that education should occur by osmosis. Some authors have similar approaches to book sales. <br />Shrug. <br /><br />Nodnod, yeah finding happy mediums, prioritizing, and being practical.

This is still one of my favorite posts.<br /><br />Sometimes if I like a blog, I'll check out older posts, but I've done that less because there are so many blogs out there.

I only know a couple other bloggers who do. I have a better idea of the average behavior of bloggers now. <br /><br />Old stories? Sure,but not many online considering I only started blogging seriously about a month or two ago. I quickly fell into my current format so it's pretty much all in the vein of what you already know. : j I certainly wouldn't recommend reading my archives in one sitting... Though it wouldn't take long. It's just bunch of short stories. <br /><br />I'll try not to inundate you with comments to old posts. But no guarantees. So far every post has been interesting, and almost everyone pulled a comment out of me.<br /><br />If I start over doing it, please feel free to prod me. :DAvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-80015918423137226432010-06-10T18:17:50.084-07:002010-06-10T18:17:50.084-07:00Alesa, of course you can read these.
