TODAY I SPENT the day at the Twin Cities Young Authors Conference (YAC) on the beautiful campus of Bethel University. About 500 middle school students especially interested in writing are bused from all over the metro area to spend time with professional authors, get tips on the writing process, and simply get inspired. I’ve been invited many times and it’s always a pleasure to return. Had some GREAT young authors in my classes today, where we focused on ‘The Writer’s Path.’ Here’s a shot with some of my fellow authors/teachers; along with one of my classrooms of young writers. This wonderful event sponsored and organized by SparkPath.
