I wrote a post for SOL Tuesday. I was in the midst of revising and editing it when I attempted to save the post, I was met with this:
A screenshot of the post I attempted to post today.
Then I tried to publish. I could go back and fix it up after it went live. That didn’t work.
So here I am. I’m frustrated. So I’m pushing myself to write something new, as opposed to retyping.
How many more days will it be Once the siding and shake are up? My daughter is impatient because she is Eager to move in so we can start the rest of our lives.
I am a literacy consultant who focuses on writing workshop. I've been working with K-6 teachers and students since 2009. Prior to that, I was a fourth and fifth-grade teacher in New York City and Rhode Island.
I'm the author of Craft Moves (Stenhouse Publishers, 2016) and the co-author of Jump Into Writing (Zaner-Bloser, 2021), Welcome to Writing Workshop (Stenhouse Publishers, 2019), and Day By Day (Stenhouse, 2010).
I live in Central Pennsylvania with my husband and children. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, doing Pilates, cooking, baking, making ice cream, and reading novels.

I think that your post is a model of perseverance as a writer (especially when technology is not our friend). I hope that eventually your original post will be available because the title is intriguing!
Persistence . . . in the face of adversity with technology.
Love I’s impatience. When we were finishing our house (I was in HS), we had a joke about it being completed at the rate of “a board a day”. Some progress is not so visibly measured!
Gah! I can imagine the frustration. Still, you got something posted – and the picture is nice. We are renovating right now and living in a (tiny) apartment. We had to make a major change in plans and now we’re way behind schedule. I really want to be done, so I’ll delight with you when you get to move in. Fingers crossed it’s in a month!
I have a new student in my class who’s living in a trailer at a campsite while their new home is being remodeled. She could surely relate to Isabelle’s impatience with the process! Wishing you smooth and speedy progress with the rest of this journey!
Okay, I think you know my feelings about acrostic poems… but this one might have changed my mind… at least a little! I’m so happy for you and your family to soon be in your new home!

Well done … important message about resilience and finding another path. I like this way of thinking far more than grit!

I love how as a writer you made a new plan midway through. Such a powerful tool to be able to share with young writers.
The site was not loading and it was quite frustrating. I did not know what an acrostic poem was and looked it up. It is a fascinating idea 😊
“waiting to reset our lives” . So many things require patience and faith and just plain old time. Nice resilience. 🙂
