Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I’m the director of a professional development consortium of 30 schools in northern Indiana committed to empowering student-centered learning. I write books, articles and other stuff because I’m sure stories + teachers make the world a better place. Most importantly, I’m completely charmed by my forever family. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Discover. Play. Build. is full of resources to make teaching writers manageable and enjoyable. You’ll find video minilessons, downloadable resources and even a preview copy of my new book!
What a great quote for your current thoughts on how you want to write this draft vs. your first YA draft. I look forward to hearing more about how the process to try to publish your first and to write your second unfold. I love that this is an encouraging nudge to just write!
What a relief! I must say that even though I like to think I don't strive for “perfect”, this does take some pressure off!
