Update 9/10/2025 – I’m not dead, I’ve just been quiet.

I’m not dead, I’ve just been quiet.

I did a couple articles for Medium, and since then I’ve been concentrating on making some packets of school lesson plans to get myself back in the swing of teaching that I’ve uploaded to Teachers Pay Teachers.

I’ve got a couple I’m going to do, and I think I’m going to offer them all free to start off with, and then eventually charge for more if they become popular. But it’s work that I’ve been doing just to do. I would love to make some money from it, eventually from Teachers Pay Teachers.

Instead, I’ve been concentrating on writing when I can write, when the inspiration hits, which has been more towards the fiction, long-form work, which means I just haven’t had the bandwidth to be punching up a bunch of articles for the blog, or for Medium, or posts for Facebook, for that matter.

I only have a certain amount of bandwidth that I can deal with each day, and I feel so spread out that I’ve had to concentrate on just what’s important right now.

It is important for me to communicate with my readers, but I just can’t do it over other things in my life that make me feel more fulfilled. This is about living honestly and as well as I can, and I have to really apportion myself well with what I give my attention to.

Keep an eye out here for my stuff on TeachersPayTeachers.
