April Check-In #letswrite2019

April Check In: #letswrite2019

Back in January, I committed to some writing goals when I wrote and published this post. I am grateful to Leigh Anne Eck for her thoughtful work in  organizing #letswrite2019.  

Below are the goals I outlined back in January: 

• Continue to blog regularly. For me, this means writing and publishing at least three posts a month.
• Continue daily writing in my writer's notebook - at least three pages each day.
• Participate in March Slice of Life 
• Participate in December Haiku-A-Day
• Write and submit at least one professional piece of writing
• Submit at least one poem locally or nationally
• Apply for at least two professional opportunities - one in the form of a grant for classroom needs and the other in terms of professional growth 

So far, here is my writing progress for #letswrite2019:

• I have continued to blog regularly. Although I haven't written at least three pages for the month of April yet, this is my second post this month. 
• With the exception of one day when I was sick, I have written at least three pages a day in my writer's notebook.
• I successfully participated in Slice of Life this March.
• In February I applied for a professional growth opportunity and was recently selected to participate in fellowship this coming June. 

I am confident that I can continue to blog regularly each month, write daily in my notebook, and participate in the December Haiku-A-Day. However, I do need some direction and advice concerning two of my goals. Can anyone help me out? 

1. Where is a good place to submit some professional educational writing? (How do I even get started with this?) 
2. Where is a good place to submit a poem? (This does not need to be about education.)
