If you haven’t guessed, I’m a teacher and I’m a writer. I love both careers. I get to be gregarious all day long, then I can retreat to my introspective place at the end of the day.
I did have a previous life when I wasn’t a teacher, but I’ve always been a writer.
Oh, and in case you’re wondering, I’m one of the nice teachers.
At least that’s what the students tell me.
To my face.
You can find me at Suite 101 writing non-fiction articles as Suzanne Pitner.
I write women’s fiction and paranormal romance as Suzanne Lilly.
I write for children and young adults as SariAnne Miller.
My classroom website is at TeacherWeb.
I’ll be NaNoWriMoing along with 100,000 or so other writers this year. Fun!
Nice to meet you! I am also an English teacher and I would like to invite you to join my new forum at Christian Teacher Forum here at WordPress. You seem like a person who could really give some good commentary and advice for teachers who are looking to network for lesson plan ideas, discussion topics, helpful tips, curriculum advice, etc. Thanks!
Hello! I stumbled across your blog as I was searching for an online version of a writing contest from Real Simple Magazine. What a great surprise to find your site. I am a teacher as well- of Spanish and ESL- and an aspiring novelist. My dream is to write full time- free lance, write books, magazine articles. While I love to teach, my deck and laptop are so much more soothing to me than 35 middle schoolers! It’s a stressful job! So, on this summer break, I am trying to “figure out” how I can make a go of a writing career. Any advice? I have website- imrunnerchica.com- which has many inspirational articles that I believe I could tweak for a magazine or online forum. Just not sure how to go about it! Any advice would be so appreciated! THANKS!!!
Hi Abbey,
I’m so glad you found my blog. One huge help I’ve found is WOW! Women on Writing. http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com. They have a group called Premium Green, PG for short, which is a bunch of women writers helping one another. Annette and Angela, the owners of the site, have helpful articles, interviews, and blogs. They also give very friendly advice. Check it out, and maybe I’ll see you on the PG boards!
