Grumpy Sock Puppets

Notes:

This idea in stride comes to you from my Patreon, The Write Balance, where you can read and hear the final version of each practice piece (with touches of music and SFX). And you can even engage in the feedback process to be more connected to every final product. To learn more and subscribe, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.patreon.com/thewritebalance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 

I created The Write Balance to show mainly myself—a high school English teacher—that there is no right way to carve out time to write—I just need to do it. So for me, these brief episodes are a way to practice publicly on that tightrope of creativity. There are countless ways to fall into procrastination, neglect, fear, and doubt, and whether you’re a teacher or not, we all have a balancing act, and this is my way of looking up instead of down.
