i Another school year, and I was able to work with hundreds of creative writers across Wake County, North Carolina.
Young writers have wonderful imaginations and I am lucky to witness their creativity through their stories. I tell them
they are much more creative than I am, and they constantly prove me right.
For more than eleven years, I have been a writer-in-residence with the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake
County. I considered myself lucky to be a part of the stories from these young writers. I share with them I
continue to work on my writing and recently completed an online creative writing class. And yes, I had to do a
bit of rewriting.
Writing is a wonderful way to slow down and connect with your own thoughts and imagination. Take a few
moments to daydream and visualize characters and what they might do. It is a wonderful way to free your mind
and create your own world. I still love doing it.
Find your favorite spot to write, you might be surprised where your imagination may take you.
