Some possibly exciting news: I'm leaving the school I'm working at once the school year is up. I'm tried to find a different school in my district or online teaching. But, I'm also getting my certifications to be an editor.
I want to do developmental edits but working on technical skills too.

Thinking of making my current WIP a series or a duo. I already know how I'd break them up and what I'd probably name them.

The owner of the bookstore was planning future events and has a Greek mythology ball on the list. Time to finish this mythology inspired story before hand so I can maybe ask to set up a table

We're on a remote learning day due to weather. I spent the morning grading papers. Stopped for lunch and my snow day coworker said it was break time. She's very persuasive.

Didn't think I was going to get any writing done tonight but I have 300 words done in 30 minutes. I'm having trouble writing this character's chapters because I couldn't find her purpose as a MC but I think I have.
She's also my care free character and I don't want her to come across as annoying
