| Message | Hello all. I’m new here thanks to a friend who told me about this site. I write mostly novels (or rather I WORK on novels), but I dabble in poetry. I’m from Northwest Georgia (I like to call it the armpit of northwest Georgia - but only out of affection), and I have an English degree. Attempted teaching with it to little or no avail - the kids have no ambition or respect and I don’t get it, so I’ve sworn off the teaching. Now I’m just a substitute looking desperately for something else. Part of me says I should just finish the book and see what happens, but that’s not extraordinarily wise or practical. In any case, I’m sure I’m not the only one trapped between too much education and too little experience, so please, come commiserate. |
