Want to discover your new favorite story? Write it yourself! Next month, I have the amazing opportunity to teach a class through Summer Programs at Cary Academy (Cary, NC)!

During the week of July 18-22, rising 6th-8th graders can learn to view the writing process in a different way through interactive brainstorming and technology.

We'll have special guests and field trips- even GAMES too! Head to http://casummer.org/summerquest/ to register for Writing Your Own Story...and hurry! The class is already almost FULL!

Don't listen to that groundhog guy...summer is coming!
