Early Summer 2010


It's hot and humid in northern Virginia. After our back-to-back snowstorms, I promised never to complain about the heat. I'm not complaining, just observing.

My northern Virginia-based writing coach business for kids and teens is doing well. And, I'm always looking for new clients. If your high school rising senior needs help preparing for the SAT writing section, please contact me. The next SAT dates: October 9, November 6 and December 4.

I'd like to organize a writing club for kids. This is a great way for budding writers to craft short stories and get feedback for their work in a supportive environment. I hope to start the club in September 2010. I'll need at least six kids to start the club. Please contact me for details.

And, do take a moment to check out Gracie's blog. Please join up as a "follower" and, of course, spread the word to all your friends, colleagues, and/​or anyone who loves dogs.

Just click the link (below).


Stay tuned...


HAPPY SUMMER!
