Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

In honor of Teacher appreciation week, I would like to write about a teacher who was intuitive enough to realize that a fourteen year class clown had more to offer than a talent for disturbing the classroom.

Mrs. Wilkins taught English and Social Studies and I was in both of her classes. By the time I entered Junior High I had read most of the books on my mother’s bookcase, which in most cases didn’t match the School Board’s Curriculum.

As a result, I was constantly raising my hand in regards to the American Indians, etc. It wasn’t that I was smarter than anyone else, it was just the seventies when most people had one television set, so I spent most of my time listening to music, reading, and writing.

Tuesday's Question!

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's Question! I began posting a question every Tuesday when I started A Nice Place In The Sun, which believe it or not was in 2007.

I thought it would be a great way to get to know my readers and it worked, but now there is a whole new blogging community that I would like to get to know.

All you have to do is answer the question and feel free to ask one yourself.

Okay, this weeks question is:

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'

F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.
- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain

About Ann...

I'm a professional humorist/children's writer, mother, friend, and cat owner, and the author of A Nice Place In The Sun. I write situational humor most of the time, but actually, there is no telling what I might turn out.

I'm writing my first novel for adults, and I have children's book manuscripts, as well as short stories, traveling through the writers market. Most of my online work is posted on A Nice Place In The Sun, although I am published in local magazines, and continue to work toward traditional publication.
