New Musings

I know it's been a couple of weeks since I last posted an entry for my readers. I am sorry for that! I've had a lot going on in the past two weeks, and when my schedule changes, I have to figure out what my work week looks like for a couple of months at a time. It can be a challenge as I don't always know what I'll be doing daily or monthly! I was working hard writing press releases and networking to make sure that some of my classes would sell as teaching is a priority for me right now. Without my students, it's hard to keep up with my writing and research assignments! In actuality the students motivate me as much as I motivate them. Right now I will be pretty busy for the next few months with both my writing and teaching endeavors. I also will be doing other art projects and entering into some exhibits and or shows.....That's always a lot of fun when I am accepted into them!
Today I have a book signing, and I need to get my stuff packed up and ready to go here shortly. I sold a book at the Winter Ball on Friday evening which was nice. I always bring books with me. For me, it's an important marketing tool. Even if someone doesn't purchase a copy right then, they'll be more inclined to at another date........
I began a new course last week entitled, "Motivational Tips and Exercises To Keep The Ink Flowing". This is a brand new writing program that I designed specifically for Canton Township, and my enrollees are eager to learn. My courses are all being housed in the Village Theatre of Canton which makes it exciting for my students as they are surrounding by art activities. They'll be writing about the latest art exhibit there beginning this upcoming week.
Tomorrow I embark on my journey to Paris.........I only wish.............I'll be teaching French once again, and I hope that my students will be delightful and ready to learn this wonderful language.
I'll have another creative writing and poetry class beginning at HFCC and some of those students will be returning to my class after taking one with me in the fall.
I've embarked on a new project as well.............I was contacted by the Canton Newcomer's group to pen a poem for their 35th birthday celebration on Feb. 7th 2007. I hope to accomplish this feat fairly shortly. Noreen wanted to have someone of my caliber in the program as I am an award winning poet. My work will be included in the time capsule to be opened at a later date! How cool is that! I love it when I get an e-mail that says..."I am an admirer of your work"..........
Plus, she's planning on taking a class with me sometime this year!
Well, if I don't get going now, I'm going to be late for my booksigning!
