Special shout-out to Mrs. Toombs’s summer school writing class for making this past week extra awesome! I got to start my week off discussing my writing process with the class, and I even had the privilege of reading samples of their work.

If you ever want to test your knowledge on a subject, try making an in depth powerpoint presentation on it. Talking about all these writerly things like character inspiration and story structure really made me realize how much I’ve grown through my own writing journey, and it was cool to get to share it all with others eager to learn.

Hopefully I left them with some new tools for developing their own skills. I’m excited to see where these younger writers’ journeys take them and what they discover along the way!
