I love meeting and engaging with young students to inspire them about writing. Since my jump-start into writing began with winning my first poetry contest in elementary school, I'd love to share my journey of inspiration, failure, determination, and success. Students are always interested to know where ideas come from. I have little tips on how they can generate their own stories from family events, pictures, words, phrases, and their favorite books. Plus, it's always a bonus to meet a real live author, who is as down-to-earth as they are, and who can prove that the keys to becoming a successful writer begin just where they are . . . in school.
