Hey there!!! It’s been quite a while, and I missed some major things like the start of a new decade with you! But I promise it wasn’t due to laziness- I’ve been busy since Christmas. So here’s a bit of a life update: I started my student teaching this semester. I’m on week 2, and it’s been FANTASTIC. I really have the best host teachers, they rock so much 💜💜💜 I’ve been working through my book, marking up a nice printed copy as I decide on some pretty exciting changes. I cannot wait to get back to writing the story with everything I’ve come up with- it’s going to be insane! I had a wonderful holiday, both for New Years and Christmas. I’m so excited to be back, and hopefully will be keeping up with you thanks to my CleverFox Planner! With so many responsibilities as student, teacher, and writer, I wanted to make sure I wasn’t dragging my feet. Trust me, after just a few weeks this thing is already a life saver! I can’t wait to share more with you as the semester goes on, so stay tuned! My goal is to expand my platform and determine new ways to engage with my fellow writers and readers. Which is something I wanted to ask you!!! Where do you go to keep up with writers? Where do you find your favorite writer buddies? I officially moved back home with student teaching, which means I lost my creative writing group up at college. I’m in serious need of more places to connect with fellow aspiring authors! Any and all suggestions would be appreciated 💜💜💜 Here’s to a new, successful new year and decade. Can’t wait to hear about all your amazing progress! Keep going. Keep writing. ~ #newdecade #backfromhiatus #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #cleverfoxplanner #studentteaching #newsemester #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UaqZypgza/?igshid=1ld4rjwyeprft
