Hi ,
A Cute Note From a Kid
First, a quick thank you to all of you who reached out after my email last week! I so appreciate your support, encouragement, and prayers.
A few months ago, I visited an area elementary school for their annual event called the Young Authors Conference. Authors / writers / creatives visit classrooms to talk to kids. I taught them how to "show don't tell" when writing emotions, and I led them in an exercise so they could practice it.
Yesterday, I got a big packet of handwritten notes from the students. They were all so sweet. Here's my favorite. (I'll translate it below in case you're not fluent in the Elementary-ese written language!)
Translation: Ms Anderson, You gave me a lot of inspiration to write a book, so I am writing a book. I hope you get a lot of people to buy your books. From: (a name I can't quite read!)
As much as I love writing, I think I love reading even more. Here are this week's book recs.
