Happy (belated) Holidays

December 23, 2012
Happy Holidays!

 Sorry for missing Hanukkah, but Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Years are still on their way. May I point out that the world did not end, and the Maya never said it would. It's always fun to think something exciting might have happened, though!

The holiday season is the perfect time to share your writing as gifts and inspiration. Handmade gifts are almost always appreciated as more special than store-bought gifts, and writing and artwork are amazing forms that can inspire people.

A gift idea for any occasion: a "Gift of Writing." This can be a letter, a poem, a scrapbook, a collage, a photo book, snippets of memories.... anything heartfelt that you know has meaning for the person that you plan to give it to. These gifts can make people laugh, they can make people cry, but they are treasures that will be kept forever.

Also, it's never to late to give one of these gifts! Just because you might not be done in time for the holidays doesn't mean you can't still give one of these gifts. The more spontaneous, the more surprising! And the surprise is one thing that makes them truly special.

Happy Holidays! Enjoy writing, reading, relaxing, and spending time with your families during this wonderful holiday season.

These poems are beautiful, unique, and wonderful because they can mean something different to everyone who reads them. Try one, and I promise you'll f...

Back to School!

August 31, 2012

For most of you, school is back in full swing, and I'm sure that at least a few of you aren't that excited; and thats okay. However, think of it as an amazing opportunity to get feedback on your writing. If you hand a piece of writing in to your teacher asking for constructive criticism, even if it isn't an assignment, I promise that you will learn a lot from their feedback. And try writing at least two pages of creative writing a week, and handing them in to your teacher; you will learn a lo...
