Every summer, I am confronted with sitting down and writing out my story ideas and novel outlines created during the school year. With little to no time available to write during the school year (managing a department including my duties as a Reading Coach, getting my Master's, presenting professional development workshops, writing grants, sponsoring two student clubs, participating in academies, working out and dating again), I barely have enough energy to pick up a novel for enjoyment. Eat, Pray, Love took me five months to finish, much to my best friend's astonishment and comment -You're still reading that?!?!? The same person who read the entire Harry Potter series in a week. Yes, a week. June approaches with the hopes of pursuing what I truly love and finally put down these stories occupying parts of my soul. But here is the free time. I'm finished with the workshops and my conference in Phoenix is two weeks away. I have professional development workshop presentations set for August, but it is not at the forefront of my mind. So, why can't I write?
