After teaching poetry writing to second graders while substitute teaching the other day, I’m more enthusiastic to get my poetry book organized and my workshops underway. 
However, for them to be more than dreams, I need to start organizing and then putting that into action.

If you’ve written a book on organizing and would like me to review it, do let me know.
Do you have favorite books and web sites that help you with your organization…of surfaces, desk, drawers, filing cabinets, the floor, and chairs …read more
