God, until that's been accomplished, not much else can be (it seems some days, at least).Jake Nantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637039507172446111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042325383621744031.post-10271690027175488362009-10-06T10:18:06.777-04:002009-10-06T10:18:06.777-04:00Three of the four people in my immediate family ar...Three of the four people in my immediate family are teachers. During the summer we often travel and work on various projects to keep ourselves occupied. The beginning of the school year is fairly drastic; we spend all of our time at school do little else for the first few months. Part of this is due to the fact that we are exhausted from all of our summer activities.<br /><br />After the routine is firmly established, we have more time to spend reading and writing. I write persuasive and research work, and I am also a beta reader for a favourite fiction author of mine and get daily updates from her. Sometime in October I find the time to catch up.Sqrt(D)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16529024423641622930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042325383621744031.post-14366636917784369582009-08-28T08:06:56.058-04:002009-08-28T08:06:56.058-04:00Basil,

Tons of admin work with the school distric and homeschool association, curricullum prep, activity scheduling. After that its busy-busy-busy until the end with projects, grading, scouts, lessons, sports etc, etc. <br /><br />With Alaska's summer being so short and so bright all of the outdoors work and activities are crammed in a short period. Which leaves little or no time for writing. The school year though is only slightly less competitive with the writing schedule as I can at least write at night after the kids are in bed. Of course as my kids get older, that bed time gets later and the writing window shorter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152540665352170999noreply@blogger.com
