Not every story will sell. But every story you finish teaches you how to write the one that will. No work is wasted. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

This hand-written note brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing a student who previously hated reading learn to love it. Passion for reading is one my biggest goals as a teacher. This is what it's all about for me.

Here is a list of my favorite books I read this year. I read 50 books which is a HUGE record for me. Normally, with my busy schedule, I can only manage about 12/year. I didn't write as much as I wanted, so it was a "fill the well" year for me. I plan to write more next year.

Seeing as a lot of my new followers are #fantasy #authors and #writers, here's some handy sword-related info for you.

1: Swords were not meant to be heavy! Warriors were going to be swinging those things for several seconds, maybe a few minutes at a time. Heavy weapons are slow and tiring! (1/)

I'm teaching it right now (8th graders).

Oh. How was The Truth According to Ember? It's on my throat list.

It would be almond, lilac, and damp moss.

It'd be called Hallowed Brook.

Agree! Love all this! I started burning a favorite candle only when I write and try to focus on the joy of writing. I try to remember that MANY writers don't get an agent or book deal right away. It's a journey of growth and persistence.

Hi all,

I'm new here. I'm a YA (mostly fantasy) writer seeking a literary agent. I'd love to connect with other writers! #amquering #yafantasy #writingcommunity
