Actually, my nuggets of wisdom come from conversations with many other teacher writers. We’re all learning from each other. It seems that both careers, teaching and writing, can very quickly turn into obsessions that take all your time. The balancing trick is to find the tiny point on the apex where we can do both, and do them both well. Some days I tip to the teaching side, some days I teeter to the writing side, and some days I feel like I’m on the ground looking up. That’s when advice from other people like ourselves pulls me back up.

I’m so thrilled to find your site. I’m wresting with the simple logisitics of combining a university teaching career with fiction writing. I’ll be a regular visitor here to see what nuggets of wisdom you’ve posted.

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!

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!!!

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!
