It was then that I discovered that writing actually touched my soul. And from the moment I started the first chapter, the story unraveled and I just kept writing and writing. I wanted to write them all down, I guess as a form of scrapbooking? But, as I started to think about a main character, and her love interest, with all the stories I have from my children – well, everything just fell into place. And most everything that happened in the first chapter happened to me…toothpaste, scraping shins, children “in the TV”. That being said, Running on Empty started as just a way to document all the CRAZY things that have happened to me because of my kiddos. I’ve always been able to write well, but writing a novel is something that honestly seemed so inconceivable and time-consuming I never, EVER imagined I would be able to finish one. I know that sounds weird, because so many writers just KNOW, like from birth. I didn’t figure out until later in life that I wanted to be an author.

However, I would argue non-fiction books have an equally weighted position. Poetry, plays and prose certainly have their place in the curriculum. That’s why I love using non-fiction books as a source for a great debate. Learning to listen to the speaker, digest what’s been said and coming up with a response is tricky to master.Īlthough many class reads spark marvellous debates among students, some find the abstract and emotive topics difficult to express an opinion on. The skill of speaking and listening really is an art, and it’s an invaluable attribute of education. Not only does this create a tantalising atmosphere, it’s also conducive to an excellent learning experience for students. Nothing makes me happier than a lesson that’s gone slightly awry because you and your students are lost in discussion. and molted into third instars 96 hr after being placed on the artificial membrane feeding system.ī.
