Motivational Monday Quote

 
BEING A WRITER IS LIKE HAVING HOMEWORK
EVERY NIGHT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
(Lawrence Kasdan)

And the nerdy girl-geek inside of me screams deliriously, "Whoo hoo! Yeh, homework!" 

(Are any of you really that surprised?)

  2. So true. I remember wanting to have a job that was clearly separate from my home life and had no take-home work, and I kept wondering why I was drawn to careers that were essentially the opposite (teaching and writing). I'm starting to realize that maybe it's the perpetual student in me crying out for homework and essays. :-D

  3. Jillian, I love the idea of being a "perpetual student." Maybe I should add that title to my business cards... :)

  4. As a teacher/writer, I know this firsthand -- but honestly, I don't mind the writing side of it at all!

  5. But I wonder, Milo, what your students think about the homework you give them? :)

  7. Ms. Saba - I wonder what your classes - and all the teachers' classes - would think about teachers having "homework." :)

  8. Yes, maybe that's it! And when I don't have 'homework' I'm totally lost.

  9. No Madeline I am not surprised at all! Who knew that homework or research could ever become so much fun! :-)

  10. Christy, isn't it funny how so many kids couldn't wait to not have homework anymore and here we are happy to still have it? :)
