So Jenna showed me the National November Writing Month page and I shared it with all of my students and many intend to write the novel.  I’m writing with them.  I believe Jenna is going to be my writing buddy–you can network with other writers in a Facebook style format sans the annoying crop collecting and what-not.  My name on the site is janruthky and I invite others to be my writing buddy also.   The link is

Also, if you picked up last weeks copy of CityBeat, I was in there.  I reviewed some haunted houses for “Scarey Beat”.

I hope we go over this site on Saturday. My lack of technology savvy is giving away my age.

I went with Sarah and Charles to Grant County H.S. and filled in some blanks for the kids on story structure and creative process. It was fun, but I don’t envy you teachers staring down groups like this every day. That’s a scary and demanding bunch.

Charles and Tom and I are looking forward to spending the first National Day on Writing with Aggie Sullinger and her students at Grant County High School. Wherever you and your students are tomorrow, and whatever else you are doing, I hope you will set aside some time to write together, to create bodies of work for the National Day on Writing Gallery we will put up on this site soon.

And I want you to do one thing more, please:

Northern Kentucky Writing Project Summer Institute 2009 was a wonderful, amazing experience. Your participation, your work, and your writing surpassed even my wildest and most imaginative expectations. I am so proud of all of you, and so very happy and honored to be part of the special community we created together.

When you applied for admission to SI 2009, you wrote answers to these two questions:

1. Using any form of writing you choose, please describe yourself as a teacher.
2. Using any form of writing you choose, please describe yourself as a writer.

Tomorrow, in honor of the National Day on Writing, I would like for each of you to sit down and write new answers to those two questions, then log on to the private section of the NKWP site and post them. I believe it will be exciting and fun to see how we all have grown.

I can’t wait to read all your posts!
