I can't do the morning time because I'm running our school television studio each day; I'm thinking I might be able to do it at lunch with our older kids. This series of posts really got me thinking. May need to brainstorm a bit with you for this February!<br /><br />TBToddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084776778987451806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-45409607309678150042014-09-25T07:30:58.955-04:002014-09-25T07:30:58.955-04:00This sounds like a fab way for any writer, to boos...This sounds like a fab way for any writer, to boost their work.<br />I'm suspecting quite a few of us will be borrowing your marathon ideers, Marcie.<br />Appreciations for sharing this.jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-26964643543978162202014-09-24T19:16:47.514-04:002014-09-24T19:16:47.514-04:00Thanks, Suzy!

I never use music at my house when I'm writing. but at school it seems to still all of the noise. :) And the sticker for my car, well, people will take one look at me and know that I didn't RUN a marathon. ha!Marcie Flinchum Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253511592239628178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-86679696293360630052014-09-23T13:22:12.124-04:002014-09-23T13:22:12.124-04:00Marcie: The challenge of pushing myself is somethi...Marcie: The challenge of pushing myself is something that resonates with me today. I will remember your words that I must do more than I ever thought possible. Your 4th and 5th grade students are so fortunate to have a teacher who encourages them to increase their reading and writing fluency and stamina and to push themselves to be all that they can be. I look forward to reading your additional posts. ~SuzyGarden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14381204646734686433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-38410228936774319922014-09-23T10:44:23.944-04:002014-09-23T10:44:23.944-04:00I can't wait to hear more about your writing m...I can't wait to hear more about your writing marathon, Marcie. Will you reward yourself with a 26.2 sticker for your car? I second the idea of music to prompt writing. Lately, I've been choosing music that might have a connection with my manuscript, by mood or setting or time period. Who knows? Maybe the music will make my writing more lyrical!

It's amazing what writing you can hammer out when the clock is ticking. :) Marcie Flinchum Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06253511592239628178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1295379888006925064.post-67356962437634676052014-09-22T09:15:09.325-04:002014-09-22T09:15:09.325-04:00Okay - this fascinates me.
