Before I published MY LIFE AFLOAT, I visited the 4th graders at W.C. Petty Elementary School in Antioch, Illinois. The students watched a PowerPoint presentation about my writing process and learned a big secret about authors — that we’re really just like them! Writing can be fun, but it can also be hard, and the more you do it, the easier it gets. I emphasized how important it is to learn the fundamentals of writing, but to make time to write for pleasure, too. I discussed what it’s like to write a novel from start to finish…and how long the process took for me.

Thanks to all the students and teachers who sent encouraging notes after my visit. I cried when I read them…they really inspired me to make my novel the best it could be. Here are just a few of the letters I received from the Bobcats of W.C. Petty Elementary:

I also visited Ms. Tate’s 3rd graders at Stone Academy in Chicago, Illinois before I published MY LIFE AFLOAT. What a great group of kids!

Ms. Tate’s 3rd graders asked some fantastic questions and really inspired me to make my novel sparkle. Thank you so much for the encouraging notes after the visit, too. Here are some of them:
