This makes me excited. A new place to stretch my writing-legs and write without thinking too much. A lot of my writing is hampered because of thought. I think thought is necessary but overthinking is something else altogether and I am guilty of this to the Nth degree. So I am going to stop that with this blog. I am not going to constantly edit and filter my words for anyone's eyes except my own.
I will quote Ms. Erykah Badu. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist and I'm sensitive about my shit!" This is a laboratory for me and I am letting people in to see my process. I envision a lot of the stories I will write being born here on this blog so let me apologize in advance for them not being as fully developed as they could be. Development is what I am working on here. I am trying to break some bad writing habits and writing more from the heart is what I am after.
So, what will you find in this blog? You will find my thoughts, my ideas, and my words. The words of a school librarian that is head-over-heels for his students and the field of school librarianship. I can provide you with some tags that typify my feelings as of this moment for the themes of the posts on this blog, in no particular order:
- education
- reading
- equality
- literacy
- school libraries
- popular culture
Because I am taking full license, I am going to close right here. I wanted to give you an idea of what you might find here and I think I've done that. (BTW-I will probably be writing with contractions here.) Before I go, I want to welcome you reader, to my blog. I look forward to sharing my world with you.
