About the Author

I have been reading and writing (mostly in my journals and blogs though) since I was a child. I love reading fantasy, fiction, romance, thriller, and sometimes inspiring non fiction. I came across Story A Day’s challenges two years back and have been trying my hand at commercial writing since then. I haven’t published anywhere other than my blog yet, but I enjoy the process of writing and creating. I just want my writing to make people laugh or smile 🙂 I wrote this story from one of the Story A Day May 2020 prompts, and with the help of my four year old daughter, who sparked the idea of the colour monster, looking at that picture.

Now as a participant in StoryADay, I’ve committed myself to writing memoir, using a process to bring forth perspective, healing and wholeness. Engaging in this process and belonging to this group all came at just the right time. Read more about me at charlottenuessle.com/about-charlotte

She mostly writes science fiction, although some of her work is difficult to categorize. When not writing, she runs, gardens, knits, and organizes large online events.

About the Story

A novice teacher facing burn-out must learn the most valuable lessons aren’t necessarily the ones we teach.

About the Author

Michele E. Reisinger lives with her family near Philadelphia and teaches English at a New Jersey High School. Her short fiction has been featured online at Light and Dark Magazine, Prometheus Dreaming, 34th Parallel, The Mighty Line, and Dreamers Creative Writing, as well as the 2019 anthology Stories That need to be told. She loves to read stories that make her think and wonder and learn. Lesson Plans was inspired by StoryADay’s list prompt and her conversation with a burned-out colleague who questioned the value of careers in education. Michele credits StoryADay and its awesome community of fellow writers with encouraging her along every step of her writing journey. You can find more of her writing at My Name Was Supposed To Be Elizabeth Ann (mereisinger.com).
