The Key to Unlocking your Writing Potential...Dare to Dream~BIG!
Happy New Year! 2012 is sure to be a fabulous year chuck full of amazing new discoveries. If you are thinking of writing, like to write or have a child or classroom of students who like to write, here are some sites we recommend that provide advice on writing, pay for writing and stand as a good educational resource for writers young and old.
If you have a site that you like or follow an agent who is super fabulous and blogs about writing, please share. It is in this collaboration and sharing of knowledge that we all grow and learn.
May we continue to seek knowledge in all things,

All proceeds from the eBook for “All Around our Town” will be donated to St. Mary’s School in Royal Oak, Michigan. This school has a wonderful curriculum plan that incorporates art and reading across the curriculum.
The art teachers exhibits a passion for her craft and enjoys showcasing the many beautiful art projects created by her students. The 7th and 8th graders are so well read in this building, I enjoy stopping in to ask them what they are reading and why. I can not wait to see what wonderful ways this building will utilize our gift.
May we continue to seek knowledge in all things-
