I was not online last Friday, so I just caught up on this “First Sale” story. I enjoyed it very much, so thank you for sharing it with us.

Oh, my goodness! I too had an English teacher Mrs. Harolyn Harris that “dared” me to write, but to this day I am too chicken to let anyone see any of it! Maybe if she had been a bit meaner…?

On behalf of English teachers everywhere, THANK YOU. When we do that “double-dog dare you” thing, it’s nice to know it works.

Love the story! Course, I love Lora too. I remember when she got that call and I was thrilled for her then and I am thrilled for her as she achieves new goals. She is hard working and always giving to anyone in need.

I thank Mr. Mueller too. If not for him, I’d never have read Lora’s work and had the pleasure of meeting her and befriending her.

Why is it we have those bad English teachers? I had Mrs. Haggan, who once gave me a C on a poem in 8th (I probably deserved it) and we fought for rest of the year because she wanted to keep my writing in a neat, classifiable, able-to-flourish-on-EWTs-and-make-her look-good box. I probably would have let her squash me if it weren’t for my 4th grade teacher who “saved my autograph for when I became a famous romance novelist.” (I still can’t believe she said that to a 10 year-old though!)

Geez…I’m already 24…I probably should be getting busy.

Great story, Lora! The anti-inspiring English teacher has always been a favorite of mine - it’s so pleasing to be able to say, “Ha! I can too write a story!” … even if the English teacher in question never knows what you accomplished. :-)

Inspiration and a lesson wrapped up in one. I had a high school English teacher who gave me a similar jolt I never forgot. The power of a good teacher is amazing.
