I had an amazing and very gratifying experience the other day. I was honored to speak before over 900 middle school students. It began as an opportunity to talk with a couple classes about writing, being an author and my book. It quickly grew into a five session talk with a total of 32 classrooms signing up.
After each session, these young students came up to me holding two inch bits of paper torn from larger pages. They held them out with a pen and asked for my autograph. My heart was touched. When I could, I grabbed something larger and more lasting to sign for them. They asked fantastic questions and were truly interested about writing.
