So a few days ago I picked up the seven year old boy I babysit from his baseball practice in Central Park, and he rode his scooter home while I walked behind. For a while he did this really neat trick where he managed to circle around me while I walked, continuing to move forward with every circle. And we started talking about what we’re afraid of. So I say, “Well then how is he going to get into your room? A serious flaw in your plan!

Monthly Archives: February 2011. February 23, 2011 · 7:36 PM. Overcoming fears is my happy thought. So it’s been like ten years since I’ve let anyone read any fiction I write. Personal essays, yes. Literature analyses, yes. Creative writing stays hidden and password protected on my computer. This semester, though, I’m taking a writing for young readers class. Workshopping is required, meaning I have to read what I wrote aloud and then call on people so they can critique my work. Ack! But today when I wal...

I’m also trying to save enough money to sublet an apartment this summer, while simultaneously buying YA books all the time to keep up with my job. This means that I eat dining hall food all. the. time. It was Innovations Day or something. I had a gyro salad for lunch with a great fruit salad (with STRAWBERRIES in it!

Overcoming fears is my happy thought. Good excuse, I promise →. March 1, 2011 · 11:29 PM. Noticing new things when reading a book for the nth time is my happy thought. I have read To Kill a Mockingbird about five times. Love. That. Book. But I always struggled with the freaking year it’s set in. I always thought it was the thirties, but so many people told me it was the turn of the century, or the forties, or even the fifties, and I was never sure. Filed under Children's Literature.

Noticing new things when reading a book for the nth time is my happy thought. Davis shows the NYTimes what’s what →. March 30, 2011 · 11:23 PM. Good excuse, I promise. I haven’t had my computer, so I’ve been completely unable to blog. Or at least, that excuses the last six days. The month before that…I guess my happy thoughts were overarching and vague, not pin-pointy and specific. I’m also considering changing the name of my blog again to something like Literintern. One response to “. Notify me of new c...

The lovely College Board has now come out with ReadiStep. A test designed for 8th Graders so that they can be more prepared to take the PSAT. In high school (which, FYI, is a PREPARATORY TEST ITSELF). Giving 13 year olds a number that represents their ability to make it on. And how far is this going to go, anyway?
