With the way my insurance plans are going, this is a cheaper option to therapy. I work all day at a Junior High teaching 8th grade science, and at the end I feel that nothing I do really matters. This is my 17th year as a teacher, and I thought by now it would get easy. Oh, heck no! Every year there is another layer of garbage we have to do that does not include teaching. For once in my career, just let me do my job. That's all I ask.
The whole writing thing? I feel like a fraud. I still can't believe I created something that other people will want to read. Right now I'm working on my second book, The Sacrifice Tree, and it is slow going for now. Unlike Firestorm, I don't feel like I'm hitting the right tone. It needs to be geared toward teenagers, but it all feels contrived. I need the characters to go off and start beating the crap out of each other and cussing each other out. So far...nope. I've kept it more or less G rated.
For now.
