Igor! Fetch
me a brain! Seriously, I have found the need for a new brain, or at least a new
way for the old brain to think. I’ve been teaching so much recently that it
has become my default whenever there are
spare moments. I find myself thinking “What do I need to do for teaching? What
can I do to streamline things?” and I immediately begin looking into it.
But enough
is enough. Yes, I’m a teacher. But I’m also a writer. Writing often gets
shuffled to the back because it doesn’t bring in the dough, but I need to get
back into it. I need to change my default from teaching to writing.
I need to
redevelop my writing brain. It’s sat in the jar for too long. I need to take it
out, blow out the cobwebs, and plant it firmly in my skull.
More
importantly, I need to make sure I never take it out again.
