How do I have time to be insecure in April? I don’t know, but I am. Here’s what I mean.
Will the posts I’ve scheduled actually publish?
Get up at 3AM to be sure.
Go to bed.
Did I have any typos or grammar mistakes?
Get up at #:3:30AM to be sure.
Go to bed.
Did I get that writer’s name correct? How about those links, did I check them?
Get up at 4AM to be sure.
Forget bed.
3) adding to the information and making it more valuable=2 points

Since many of us are getting ready for the A to Z Blog Challenge, I thought I’d rant a bit about what I wish wouldn’t happen in the Blogging World.

LOS ALTOS HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS |
On Thursday I was at Los Altos High and had the pleasure of talking to three English classes–one senior and two sophomore sections. The kids were so wonderful that it made me nostalgic for those classroom days when I taught English.

In the 40 minutes I had, I told them a little about who I was and what I wrote, read from two of my YA novels, then gave them a 10 minute writing exercise, saving the last 5-10 minutes for Q and A.
I based the exercise on beginnings. A few weeks before I’d submitted sample beginnings of stories I’d written, they’d read them and we discussed what I call the EICE, /ice/, formula. Credit for this goes to Stein in Stein on Writing, and I keep it posted above my desk.

Apples are the best fruit. Highly portable, delicious and keep the doctor away. So I’m celebrating my apple trees. By April this one will be full of blossoms. Then the deer will hang out and wait for the fruit. They’ll clear the bottom limbs, but I’ll get the apples higher up. . .if I hurry before the birds find how juicy those red things are.
