Hello All!
As some of you may know, I have taken a year-long leave of absence from my job as a High School English teacher. L. and I have moved to Boston, where he is on sabbatical at the Dana- Farber Cancer Institute. I am. . .well I am an English teacher on vacation who spends her time writing fiction and keeping up my new personal Blog. A blog is short for "web log" and is a website that can be used (at no charge) to publish personal writing. Visit mine if you want to see an example.
jkkelleywritenow.blogspot.comSince I am an English teacher with free time on my hands, I thought I would try to encourage the family to start using a blog. Thus I have created this site:
schamberline.blogspot.comHow will it work???? Well you have already been doing the "work" by writing emails about your lives and sending them to our mass mail list. I can take those emails and post them here. Or, even better, you can compose a paragraph or two (or ten) and send them to me at hutchkelley5@gmail.com. I will add them to our blog. Of course you can send photos too!!! Please be sure to include your name, and where you currently live (town is fine).
Write about current events...memories...dreams...jokes....recipes...new babies...holiday traditions...stories about your kids of any age...politics....dare I say religion????
One caution: the blog is "semi-private." In other words, it can be accessed by anyone BUT they would have to know the web address. If you googled "schamberline" most likely the search engine could not find it. But you should write with an idea that it is public and only post photos that you consider public. Also, you should probably avoid street addresses and the like.
Can't wait.
