Dinner was fantastic and such a cool experience. Tasty, and the talk was very enjoyable too.
Thanks for you continued support, Lisa. And how you share your technology insights here too!

Dongles. They can also be the demise of the day!

Controlled language is in the sense of language learners and what a teacher is applying to the lesson. It is a crafted language input that eventually produces an output, depending on the i + 1 of the learners. Just an example that was very specific to that particular audience. [‘i + 1’ acquisition model attributed to Krashen and Terrell who study how languages are taught and learned.] The recovering grammarian emerges!

We can celebrate all our pivotal moments, any of the big steps we finish would be good moments to reflect.
Thanks for you comment, Denise. 🙂

I love that you had such a positive experience, Kris. I'm sure your students did too.

And now I'm dying to know...what is "controlled language?" Why was its use important to this audience?

Hi V.M.,
Even if you haven't spoken to a group publicly, it doesn't mean that you won't someday.

Any little milestone is worth an internal high-five in my opinion.

Thanks for your comment and keep on writing.

I'm glad you found the post useful, Lynette.

It's become part of my weekly reflection to check-in with works and to recalibrate what isn't. Celebrating the little things keeps the mojo moving and the writing life fun and interesting. 🙂

It also never occurred to me to celebrate my accomplishment. I have been learning to celebrate my writing milestones, but you reminded me that there are other accomplishments in my writing life that I should also remember to celebrate. Thank you.
