Hi, I'm Kim--curriculum author, speaker, retired homeschooler, and grandma to seven. Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere. My heart is to equip and inspire you to teach writing, even when it seems like it's always an uphill battle. I invite you to poke around the blog, where you'll find writing and poetry activities, grammar tips, and hope for reluctant writers. Thanks for stopping by!

Indeed!
Yes! Writing is writing is writing some more! I don’t know that I, personally, can ever call a piece of own work truly finished, as I am never truly “finished” as a growing, changing, learning human being. I hope I can always convey that sense of growth and adventure to my students, on the page and in life.
I spend more time self-editing than I do writing. Writing is such a fluid entity, like a stream. Adding a word, moving a phrase, restructuring a sentence—these are like adding stones and removing log jams. Writers have the ability to redirect the flow of the stream. It’s a powerful, beautiful thing.
