I’m not sure what the future holds for Teach Mentor Texts but I do know that I rarely post book reviews and mentor texts ideas and I find myself reading more and more for my own learning and growth and entertainment than reading kidlit. I pride myself on being an educator who reads what her students read and I will continue to do that but I’m also super passionate about being an entrepreneur and nurturing my own writing life at the same time. </div><div><br /></div><div>In reflecting on all of this, I’ve realized that my energy has shifted and it’s time for a pause in blogging here at Teach Mentor Texts. I’m so extremely grateful for all the fun Teach Mentor Texts has been! I have grown in so many ways thanks to this blog and I appreciate all the connections I have made with other educators, librarians, writers, authors, illustrators…the people memories bring me the most joy. Blogging with Kellee Moye was an especially huge highlight for me. She now blogs with Rick Ginsberg at <a href="https://www.unleashingreaders.com/" target="_blank">Unleashing Readers</a> and we have co-hosted IMWAYR. Starting next week, you can go to <a href="https://www.unleashingreaders.com/" target="_blank">their blog</a> to read their awesome book reviews and get recommendations and join the link up. It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? Is not going away! I know they will carry on this awesome tradition. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you so much for seeing me, appreciating what I have to say, and sharing your reading and writing passion and knowledge over the years! I will forever be grateful. </div><div><br /></div><div>If you’d like to stay connected, I’ll be blogging over at <a href="http://www.thestoryexploratory.com/blog1" target="_blank">Story Exploratory</a>.

I’m not sure what this means other than I took time to care for myself and that was important. I love writing and I wrote everyday, I just didn’t work on adding words to my manuscript. It’s there. I know it’s waiting for me. I know it knows I love it. What I needed most this week was to get back to my morning pages and my daily writing practice for me, as a way to connect with myself. I had take a little break from morning pages but it really is a lovely practice that I enjoy so I made sure to sit and spend time with my thoughts everyday this week and it was really lovely. I feel grounded and grateful and ready to start to shift back into schoo mode. I think because I know it is going to get really real here soon, I needed to really take time for myself this week so I’m glad I did. I often will write and pull cards to see what message comes up and that was really powerful for me this week. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYiyrjdIIug8DSUM1e9ZqrWkIeGPDSXGVdaswZBIp79RdH5fOrbJIjE90aL8Sf6IWotCtwSwy7tCbaJ8BuOs7Tlu674xlalx9rv2htTbeopvP6-WN76-1VL33it8gEIKTslBWSAsSlJedYc78b8UHCSeo19ftFnyre5F-2ogwFJqYLa8mTTy2tUATmbQv/s3024/2E753544-C0FC-41AD-8080-EB3514F5E115.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYiyrjdIIug8DSUM1e9ZqrWkIeGPDSXGVdaswZBIp79RdH5fOrbJIjE90aL8Sf6IWotCtwSwy7tCbaJ8BuOs7Tlu674xlalx9rv2htTbeopvP6-WN76-1VL33it8gEIKTslBWSAsSlJedYc78b8UHCSeo19ftFnyre5F-2ogwFJqYLa8mTTy2tUATmbQv/s320/2E753544-C0FC-41AD-8080-EB3514F5E115.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best part of the week were those moments when I really let my thoughts flow.

I’m bummed I didn’t work on my work in progress but quite honestly, the week moved so fast and all of a sudden it was Friday and time to work on this recap. So I guess it’s good that I wasn’t hard on myself for not working on my ms, it just sort of went that way!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thank you for joining in on the Teachers Write fun!

In my workshops and coaching with <a href="http://www.thestoryexploratory.com/" target="_blank">Story Exploratory</a>, I talk a lot about writers exploring. We need to get out and explore, to try new things and experience life, so we have things to write about. Trips like this give me a lot to think about and write about - like a blue clay mask, a catamaran sunset tour, a drum circle, and a cactus labyrinth. I had a great time gathering up words in my writer’s notebook that I can incorporate into my writing. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">We have one more week of Teachers Write! My goal for this week is to really zone in on my WIP and add words again. If I could at least double my word count from week two and add at least 1,200 words, that would be great. Let’s see if I can do that…or more!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Honestly, it makes me feel so great to know there are teacher writers out there! Thank you for sharing your writing life with me and other Teachers Write campers. I love that we make time to write. It truly matters. Not only are you nurturing your own writing life, you are better equipped to nurture the student writers you work with. That’s pretty awesome. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJUHySReYYOre94FrI3CzOle9hP80NDdVBizQpnDhsgidnvxk62touyt22EBiwQqPpALrJ642jwfbjI10z9tX0Cms5ZoUTSBm3quqRdSnwuxBWQbi5MmUlJflw3WOTdIvjN0JYt94plwh/s300/Jen+Blog+Sig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="300" height="167" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJUHySReYYOre94FrI3CzOle9hP80NDdVBizQpnDhsgidnvxk62touyt22EBiwQqPpALrJ642jwfbjI10z9tX0Cms5ZoUTSBm3quqRdSnwuxBWQbi5MmUlJflw3WOTdIvjN0JYt94plwh/w200-h167/Jen+Blog+Sig.png" width="200" /></a></div></div>Jen Vincenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05253968450319192514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094276517435014858.post-70367187324099769982023-07-24T01:00:00.017-05:002023-07-24T01:00:00.138-05:00It’s Monday!

She goes on walks and takes photos that inspire her writing. Since Kate and Loree Griffin Burns asked us to look for inspiration all around us, I went through my camera roll to see what has sparked my attention lately. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Last Sunday, I went down to Botanical Cafe in Chicago to meet up with my Chicago Latina Writers group. I was about ten minutes away when I turned my head and spotted a huge, larger than life skeleton sitting in the parking lot of bar/restaurant. I had to see it up close so I made a u-turn and parked so I could take a picture. While most people are out in nature looking for inspiration, I put an urban twist on this week’s challenge. Here I am with the art and my Chicago Latina Writers group. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqju65WFsmS_ArQAakW0iyLlx0-HckPLs2gWtwGHY5KWQBKDJrz5vSTDLI_IA9YB_dqmhOGC8sBbYd2I30mynqycRThSi7aVdhfUnKwTCgfxDH0KVWfi8gPD2p8oq17vhRjzE4nIchkZS01H0ECWo9maCf69xnGHvj6gf7jP6DPtaFAgPY2F9Q5-BH1RT/s3088/1F34B773-0946-43CE-A61B-3E25F984AFBD.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqju65WFsmS_ArQAakW0iyLlx0-HckPLs2gWtwGHY5KWQBKDJrz5vSTDLI_IA9YB_dqmhOGC8sBbYd2I30mynqycRThSi7aVdhfUnKwTCgfxDH0KVWfi8gPD2p8oq17vhRjzE4nIchkZS01H0ECWo9maCf69xnGHvj6gf7jP6DPtaFAgPY2F9Q5-BH1RT/s320/1F34B773-0946-43CE-A61B-3E25F984AFBD.jpeg" width="240" /> <img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ah_BH3Kihw16JBQ51oJa4VvS-313uzdFMFmJxRzrDgMnBMn6tj93evs_gj-vHa_POvf3_GdiMNsXSKyZjh3IX1zzCouGKM3PTL9jcuvOMioyTKFvs4KutItj5kXIRlQ8qKeG0mU5KnLeFq4tSkX7oyEYijCwsz94n5bEqomLz4-G-R5hQLk92agGQQRf/s320/10915BB6-335A-45EF-B39F-07C5EB05DC23.jpeg" width="240" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Here’s the brainstorming I did:</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7ujSP6gq1U8f5oLJKSahTWbuCbBPfpNOPLoBpz9tvqZaVV8Pq7wgRZ0n36aEOZKYqxBGks6nllt6YFM_ou1i2_YEkAigC662wVR7YIZilAKYKIN6CBpRBKZrhy8YP0nSm8LdbPiwWVDMJfKXm-c7ZauXxrpcHs006LcMx_BubuVaYYPanbvD6L6s0BO0/s2662/FB654661-08FF-4892-A62C-F883C29E8509.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2662" data-original-width="2395" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK7ujSP6gq1U8f5oLJKSahTWbuCbBPfpNOPLoBpz9tvqZaVV8Pq7wgRZ0n36aEOZKYqxBGks6nllt6YFM_ou1i2_YEkAigC662wVR7YIZilAKYKIN6CBpRBKZrhy8YP0nSm8LdbPiwWVDMJfKXm-c7ZauXxrpcHs006LcMx_BubuVaYYPanbvD6L6s0BO0/s320/FB654661-08FF-4892-A62C-F883C29E8509.jpeg" width="288" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And then I went back to Canva and here’s my picture and my haiku!

Teachers who write make the very best teachers of writing and Teachers Write has been a huge part of my journey as a writer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you’re here, you get it!

I've written young adult novels and picture books and essays.

Living the life of a writer means navigating the ups and downs and being able to say to a student writer, “That’s happened to me before.

I do have a WIP (work in progress) that is currently at 21,244 words and I’d love to add to my word count and possibly finish my first draft before school starts in August…but I’m giving myself a lot of grace and going with the flow. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This week I had fun blending Kate’s idea for found poems and Laura Ruby’s hermit crab poems suggestion. BUT I did not work on my WIP until I needed to write this blog post and realized I should at least open it during week 1. Let’s see if I can get some words added by next week’s check-in!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Give yourself a huge pat on the back for being part of Teachers Write this summer!
