Why I Write ~ SOLS 27

    Tonight I am thinking about all the reasons that I write. I really started and continue to wrestle with words as a result of my love of books. I love to infect young readers and writers with this passion. I write to dive deeper into the depths of words and the wonderful ways that authors weave them together to tell a story. As a teacher, I write quite simply to be a better writing teacher.

I write

To remember

For I will forget

Big moments,

I write to savor

Small moments

Moments that matter now

Moments that will matter later

I write

To understand

To find my way

To heal

I write

To weave

My teaching together

To celebrate

I write to grow

To improve

To be a better person

To walk in their shoes
