| I wanted to send out a quick notice for all the teachers and homeschool parents. Each year, I like to visit schools to talk with the kids. Not just talking to them about being an author, but I love to do workshops with them. Hands on where they learn something and are doing an activity. One of the bigger workshops I run is video game storytelling. I love this workshop and the kids have a great time at it. The other workshop I love to run is a story structure interactive discussion. In it, I talk with the kids about ideas for creating stories and how to put those ideas into the 3 story structure parts – Beginning, Middle, End. Once done, the stories are finished based on those ideas and available for the kids and others to purchase. The kids have a great time with this, and I’ve gotten feedback that kids were inspired to write their own stories afterwards. That’s exactly what I love to hear! To see an example of the final stories, here’s a book of stories that got written after a session at Southeast Schools in Portage County Ohio – Help an Author. And right now, I made the digital version free over the labor day weekend so you can check it out. I make sure a copy of the book goes to the school library, but I also donate back any profits earned from sales to the school library. I would love to visit some more schools to work with more students on this workshop. Contact me at sas@sasauthor.com if you’d like to discuss a day for me to visit your school. Thanks – and Enjoy the Adventure |
