Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Mint or Chocolate Decadence?
If you are a chocolate-holic like I am, the decision between all the chocolates at the candy counter or freezer case can take forever to make. I was faced with a similar decision when asked to choose the workshops I will be taking at the Highlights Writing Workshop. Each afternoon for a week, we get to take three sessions with three choices each. And the decisions are hard!
For example, the first session is a choice between How to Write a Nonfiction Children’s Book, Fundamentals of Plot, or Sequencing Scenes for Maximum Effect. All classes are taught by award-winning authors (including two time Newbery winner Jerry Spinelli), editors or publishing giants. They are spilling their secrets and all I have to do is listen, think, and take notes VERY quickly. For my hand-written notes I found the perfect thing at Half Price Books, a large leather-bound blank book from Portugal. I also purchased a refurbished laptop and a quantity of pens and very pointy pencils.
Now for those tough choices! Check out this incredible faculty.
