There's one more component to this year's doings that we haven't yet shared with you. Colleen and I are crafting plans for a weekly Writer's Workshop. She's going to do it as a co-op. I'm going to do it with my own small band of children. We're really excited about this--an idea inspired by not one, but two, great living books on writing.
The first book is Show, Don't Tell! by Josephine Nobisso, author of The Weight of a Mass. The second book is not yet released, but our research tells us that it's worth holding up the whole workshop in order to include this book. S is for Story: A Writer's Alphabet is due out the first week of September, so we don't have too long to wait. In the meantime, we're happily collaborating in Google Docs, and we can share it with you in the not-too-distant future.
