You Can’t Wait for Inspiration

I’m thankful for the teachers who came here to write together. I’m thankful for the teachers in my district who invited me to write in this space. This month-long challenge has motivated me to pay closer attention to my teaching and personal life. Most importantly, it’s breathed new life into my writing…I should know by now that if I wait to be moved to write, I’ll rarely get anything down. It’s just like Jack London said: “You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.”
