Congratulations! You both will have made a big difference in the lives of those kids by inculcating in them a love for writing. And I really did not realize that a LOT of people blog the way I do - amidst children, milk, rides, screams and naps :) Awesome work. Congratulations!

I love this sentence. It is so very true. And the way you describe the blogging process - right on. “Blogging is writing personified.” I love this sentence. It is so very true.

Good work, the both of you. It must be a great feeling to impact the kids in such a way. I also caught the writing bug in fourth grade. And it was due to a teacher... who I happened to have a huge crush on. That is awesome! Good work, the both of you. It must be a great feeling to impact the kids in such a way.

For me, writing is also release. There is just something about pouring my thoughts and ideas into a word document but what I really love is being able to go back, clean it up and make it read exactly the way I want it to read. In a sense, writing is forgiving. I also enjoy the response to the articles I write on the fly at 4am . Yes, writing really is FUN. For me, writing is also release.

With you 1,000% on this one! Writing isn't just fun, it's <i>life</i>! It's a way of examining and shaping our thoughts and experiences as well as finding a vehicle to express our deepest feelings. Teaching creative writing to kids was one of my greatest pleasures - they have fewer hangups than the adults! I especially liked the lessons we did on haiku, cross sense descriptions and making up words. My own kids have grown up thinking that reading and writing have great worth (they both write beautifully - I got short stories from each of them as my special Christmas gift) but what makes me deeply, deeply sad is how many kids and parents think of writing as just a 'boring, hard school thing'. Get your online school up and running as fast as you can - the world needs you both and many kids and parents will be blessed! Well done you guys for what you’ve achieved!
