Grading Papers and Waiting…
I do far too much waiting as a writer. I’ve noticed when I send out a manuscript, I then shut down into waiting mode. I know I should be writing other stuff — but instead I just focus on grading papers. So that’s what I’m doing today, grading papers while I wait to hear back about my latest picture book manuscripts.
Every time I grade a batch of papers I think about all of the creative projects I could be working on… And then the grading process takes even longer.
