From ideas to plans to writing to revision—learn more everyday, anxious to share

So many lessons learned from year-after-year and stack-upon-stack of rejections

Copycat stories, subtraction stories, fables, character stories, graphic novel scenes, poetic stories—so many kinds of stories to teach

Words are like toys meant to be played with

Greatest job in the world—a magician pulling stories out of a hat, er . . . a mind

Use the Herculean power of words to move kids—make them laugh, cry, or sigh, “I’m not the only one who . . .”

From kindergarten through
kollege =), loved learning—still do!
