| Introduction | Hey all, I’m Christine Benson and I will be your Tuesday Blogger. Why me, you ask? Well, over the past year I quit pretending that writing wasn’t important to me and began to actually pursue my lifelong dream of being published. I used to open those huge, musty anthologies in my English classes and swear that one day I would be good enough to have my work studied by kids across the world. Then, as poetry helped me dredge through my teenage years, I dreamt of someday becoming Poet Laureate. Well, I’ve since learned that none of that can happen if you don’t sit down and write something. The novel bug has bitten and I’m currently writing my first Young Adult novel which I plan to have drafted by the end of June 2012. This whole process of actually following my dream has revealed oodles about my writing process and me in general and I want to share those lessons with you. I teach middle school by day, occasionally zombie by weekend, while parenting and writing the rest of the time. In my life, there is music always, new experiences daily and a pursuit for my dreams in every breath. Can’t wait for your feedback as you join me on this adventure in blog world! Stay Groovy!! |
