Got a problem in your NaNo? Who doesn't?! But we've got a way to help!

Post here with your plot problems, and all through the week members of the community will scan through and see if they can help.

AKA - The best way to procrastinate is to help others!

So post your problem. Then take a moment to look at everyone else's and see if you can help them.

People helping people. That's what makes this community great :)

So have at it!

Former prof here...We had to schedule regular office hours with students. We had to also be accessible in the Department Office to anyone who wanted to drop in, for a fixed number of hours a week, although we got to schedule when these were. There was a bimonthly department faculty meeting, and there were college meetings other than in our own departments. And we did also, of course, have to create lesson plans, grade papers, and also counseled students...every teacher in a college department is also a "faculty advisor" to a certain number of students who are majoring or minoring in this subject. We also had to work with whatever University committees or special projects we were part of. I taught Creative Writing and British Literature, was the moderator of the college literary journal, was a member of the Accreditation Board and also Vice-Chair of the department. And above all...we wrote. "Publish or Perish" was a true dictum...we all had personal writing projects we were involved in, and that would go for professors of any discipline, not just those in the Language Department.
