You know the days…the weeks…where you plan and you have every expectation, but it just doesn’t happen? Well, this is my week. I had planned to post about Secondary Characters from Donald Maass’s book, Fire in Fiction, but couldn’t pull it together.

Yeah, I know I am taking the time to post here, right now, but this doesn’t take any forethought and planning. This was the last week at the elementary school where I work. Can anyone say ChAoTiC? My goodness, between the parties, the awards assemblies, and the parents coming and going, I thouht I would just drop dead at the end of each day. No thinking going on in this head, for sure.

Of course, it doesn’t help that amid all this hustle and bustle, I have a son graduating this weekend! Yep. I’ve been preparing for a reception for him after the graduation Sunday afternoon and have another reception to go to tomorrow. Did I mention I have to go to work tomorrow morning to wrap things up with the teachers? On Saturday? Sigh…

All this to say, next week I will have some good posts to give you. First, my thoughts on Donald Maass’s Secondary Characters chapter, and then I will give away a copy of Julie Lessman’s, A Passion Most Pure!!!! Oh my, what a lovely book, indeed!

p.s. I wanted to pull out the cranky pants this week, but refrained….for the most part! I did whine juuusstt a little bit though!
