By the way, you did an amazing job on that flyer! 
Alison, there's one more reason I repurposed the blog post, because...

I HAVE EXCITING MEMBER NEWS

Yep, one of our members has done it again!! Lauren LeBlanc won SCBWI's WIP award for her chapter book submission: How to be a Bad Guy by Dallas Bottomley
Fed up with his friends’ obsession with superheroes, 8-year-old Dallas decides to become a villain instead. But when he discovers he would rather stand up for the underdog, he must redefine what villainy means to him.
Here's the official SCBWI WIP ANNOUNCEMENT. Let's give a round of applause for Lauren and wish her a ginormous amount of luck for the next round of her journey.

So Alison, I think we've learned some valuable lessons: Fall Philly is an event you don't want to miss, Lauren LeBlanc is awesome, and repurposing is responsible blogging! 


Sharing the writing love one letter at a time,
Kim

FIRST SNOW by Bomi Park: Classroom Activity and Review

By Alison Green Myers
Dear Kim, Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! We had fun with Bomi Park's gorgeous FIRST SNOW last week. We used the book as a mentor text to explore personal narratives and poetry.  We also explored watercolor resist techniques. (We also made a mess-- which is kind of my modus operandi during writing workshop. Sorry, Kelley! ) I used the sentence starter from the jacket copy: Look up. One flake falls, then another. And just like that—it's __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . The kids worked cooperatively at their table groups to discuss what word might fill in the blank. I love hearing them chat.  "Well it is a snowflake because 'one flake'."  Followed by: "No. It has seven letters, snowflake has nine."  And: "It is an action.

Despite my debut novel releasing when I was 44, my stacks of journals from childhood onward prove that I’ve always been a writer. Yeah, it took me a while to figure out what I really wanted to be when I grew up. The bulging folder filled with scraps of paper and napkins of all my “book” ideas and “story” ideas didn’t make me realize my true calling until six or seven years ago. So tell me, what do you love about writing? Possibility. I’m a wildly anticipatory person, always have been. A dreamer for
