Linda Jackson asked Debbie Lannen:

The word, inspire, caught my attention, for that's the main motivation behind my writing as well. It appears you've done much positive work in inspiring others, and I give you a thumbs up, from Canada's north country. Are you receiving much response or support for your efforts is dealing with the problem of bullying?

Debbie Lannen Thank you, Linda. My anti bullying play, I'm Sorry was recently produced in St. Louis. I was told by the director that it was well received. I am constantly trying to get the word out about it to nrew schools and theatres. If we save even one child the pain of being bullied, it is all worth it.
As for inspiring, I visit schools and talk to young writers and share my books. Hopefully they enjoy the visit and perhaps decide to write something themselves.
Stay in touch. Thanks for reaching out.
