It's necessary work, but I always feel worn out after reading all those papers; I feel even more worn out when I think of how some students will try to challenge/question/complain about their grade, as some of them do. <br /> My first kiss was awful and from someone I didn't even want to kiss me. I like what you said about needing all those firsts to write, though. One good thing about fiction was that I was able to "rewrite the first kiss", in a way, so that for my character it was something she could look back on fondly.Neurotic Workaholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775298184138766683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-77583992323198254802012-01-08T17:49:28.343-05:002012-01-08T17:49:28.343-05:00"There is no good writing without honesty.&qu..."There is no good writing without honesty."
