The End is Coming

The end of summer, that is. The next school year has been creeping closer, and tomorrow is the first piece of it. Okay, it’s a staff barbecue. No big deal. This is a new school to me, so I’ll be there to start introducing myself. Should be fun, honestly.

Next week, there will be principal-led training. Normally I’m strict about not working outside my contracted days and hours. However, since it is a new school, I might go for the parts that cover the school’s policy and philosophy around student discipline. There are more ways to approach student discipline than you might think. I’d like to be on the same page with everyone from the start.

This also means I need to keep pushing on The Tale of the Drakanox. I feel like I’m about 3/4 of the day through it. I wrote out a big crisis point right before my trip to L. A. The two weeks since have been about reactions and coping. After today, though, I’ll be moving into the end game.

I’d say to wish me luck, but we all know with writing the results come from patient effort and skill. So, wish me patience! (But maybe a little luck, too.)

Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my website, Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.
