Dude I need to take a break and write a book. I know, I know. I said no more books and I meant it. But I have to. Close readers here over the past few months know exactly why. Something new is afoot. And the conferences are a coming. So I’m gonna do it.
I have time stamped some more articles about the Language of the Trees thread. They will appear automatically here over the next few weeks. And I also made a John Bracey comment into an article that will appear in about a week just because he shoots from the hip on school – there’s no confusion about where he stands on the matter.
Writing this book, and thank you for your understanding, is for me of immense importance, much more importance than my previous four books, because it takes me to the place I know I’ve always wanted to get to with this work, a place where I no longer have to sweat at the start of a class. It’s bitchin’.
It’s cool, right? There is more than you can shake a stick at here (now there’s an expression!) in terms of articles to read – just hit the archives. And we are all as busy as bees now in spring preparing now to end our school years.
Plus I have to pack for Landen and me to get back to the U.S.A. in a few months. Yadda yadda. I’m giving myself one hour total in April and one hour in May to come here and read and comment between now and when this new book is done.
It should be only a matter of five or six weeks because I worked on it over spring break and it is already framed out. It’s like building one of those tiny houses is what it feels like.
So see ya later!
P.S. Oh and there is a video I am going to try to post for Emily Williams on the 25 minute story topic, because we tried it in one class yesterday, they took the challenge. So I will edit it and publish it here hopefully in the next week. But other than that April is now Book Time for Ben.
