A Surprising Day!

This morning I was surprised with a phone call from a school I had sent my resume to two weeks ago. I had practically given up on the job, figuring that someone else had been hired before the principal had even received my resume. The secretary seemed very anxious to have me come in as soon as possible. I agreed to meet with the principal at 10:00 this morning. I met with her and two special education teachers who are at the school already. The meeting went very well, I enjoyed speaking with them and sharing ideas. If given the job, I believe I could work with these two teachers sharing ideas and collaborating with them to ensure that the students were making progress throughout the school year.

I have also gotten myself set up to begin writing the novel. November is National novel writing month and there is a challenge to write a novel within the thirty days of November. I think this challenge will give me the necessary deadline that will at least get me started to write the first draft, that is the one goal of the challenge. There is a site for me to refer to throughout the month that will help with pep talks and keep a word count. The end word count to complete the novel needs to be 50,000 words. After I complete the 50,000 word novel first draft I will begin revisions if it is good enough, only the novel will tell.
