Why I've left teaching in a post-secondary writing program... it ceased to be about the writing. I felt homesick sitting in faculty meetings. I walked down the hallway, and heard the word "branding" too often. I heard numbers instead of letters. I had a student who lived in books and words just disappear, with no word. It was time for me to go home and write. Too many high heels.
TREE feels to be infused with so much real-living and yes, faith. Thank you!
I love that you connected the illustration with the writing! I almost never make an conscious connection between the two, mostly because that takes more time than I have available. But I always hope that some connection will happen in people’s minds as they read.
Hi Jeff, I don’t think there’s been one TREE that I haven’t liked, or that hasn’t resonated with me. I often just forget to open them… Then I got really behind on my emails, get totally overwhelmed and delete them all when I’m having a meltdown. Do you tweet them as well. When I’m overwhelmed with my emails, I can actually look at Twitter. If there was a tree link, I would probably click on it. Anyway, just want you to know that your work is appreciated. XX

Thank you and congratulations on getting out.

Thank so much for appreciating what I write. That means a lot to me.
