Happy Fall ,

“A new school year means new beginnings, new adventures, new friendships and new challenges. The slate is clean and anything can happen.” Denise Witmer

Ah, remember that back to school feeling? The excitement of a new box of crayons, crisp notebooks, or a set of fancy gel pens. One of the benefits of being grown up is that you don’t have to wait for the start of a new school year to commit yourself to learning something new or getting that new notebook. Remind yourself that you can have that fresh start whenever you want. The best part of being a writer is there is always a new idea and a chance to tell another story. 

And if you are wanting to learn something new this fall- you’ve come to the right place!
