Better in Writing: In My Father's House, There are Many Rooms....
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2013/01/in-my-fathers-house-there-are-many-rooms.html
Thursday, January 31, 2013. In My Father's House, There are Many Rooms. The house, which had been added on to and added on to over the generations, was a house of the accumulations of centuries of living and rooms of memories of a long and full life. And we- the relatives with whom I was wandering through the house- had been alive a long, long time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Christine C. Schaefer.

Better in Writing: "You start from nothing and learn as you go...."--EL Doctorow
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2015/01/you-start-from-nothing-and-learn-as-you.html
Sunday, January 4, 2015. You start from nothing and learn as you go."- EL Doctorow. In the next week or so, I will start a new job. I wasn't really looking for a job, but this, a kind of second career opportunity, just fell into my lap. With a new editor at the paper, things are being shifted around a bit, departments being combined or moved to the parent newspaper in Columbus (IN); thus, they were hiring. I lead the luckiest life on the planet. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Better in Writing: September 2012
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Rethinking Education, Part I (Decision Made). So we decided to enroll Ben in an online school. I talked with John about it and we signed up to attend a live info session at a local hotel. I was bound determined that if we decided to sign Ben up for the Indiana Connections Academy, the 'blame' wouldn't be entirely on my shoulders. ;-). How do we solve that problem? My radical idea then was to discontinue mandatory school attendance. Yes, we would lose a generation or two, ...

Better in Writing: Lessons That We Learn From the World
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-school-called-at-758-a.html
Wednesday, March 5, 2014. Lessons That We Learn From the World. The school called at 7:58 am, but I missed it. It was Mr. Shelton, the disciplinary principal. I returned his call and was sent to voice mail. The phone rang again at 12:36 pm and Mr. Shelton asked me to come up to the school. Mr Shelton slid a paper across the desk at me. It was a Math test with a small pencil drawing of a pirate cutlass in the upper right hand corner. What is behind this? Yes, Ben gets frustrated in Math and, yes, he somet...

Better in Writing: April 2012
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 5, 2012. My husband, the IPS teacher soon to be retired, was late in realizing that he had TWO whole weeks off for Spring Break this year. He learned this just the week before and commented that it was "like Christmas and birthday all wrapped up into one! It was a nice week. This week, Ben went back, but John stayed home. Weeks- when previously, I've been glad for him to get back so I could 'get something done! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Christine C. Schaefer. View my complete profile.

Better in Writing: The Best of Days....
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-best-of-days.html
Wednesday, July 2, 2014. The Best of Days. Yesterday was a busy day. We're in rehearsal for a show, of course, so there's an endless list of big things, details things, and ephemera that need completing. I've been leaping out of bed and hitting the ground running for so many days in a row now, I've lost count. Yesterday was also my 55th birthday. 55 Where did the time go? Technically, now, a senior citizen. I can now buy my way through life at 10% off. How? How did I get here? What am I talking about?

Better in Writing: Gen Con Dreams
http://imbetterinwriting.blogspot.com/2013/08/gen-con-dreams.html
Monday, August 19, 2013. It is Monday morning, the Monday after Gen Con. In case you don't know what it is, you can check it out here: http:/ www.gencon.com/. I'm a 54-year old mom, the mother of 22- and 16-year old boys. I don't know how long we've been going to Gen Con. Long enough to remember checking the 16-year-old into the Training Grounds and walking around with his older brother. Like many, we first came on a Sunday on a Family Pass- and that was enough to hook us. August 19, 2013 at 9:57 AM.
