Sunday, October 10, 2021 @2pm, join me at Holmes Run Park in Alexandria, for the launch of Charles Beatley Jr. Central Library's "Storywalk"!
Saturday, December 5, 2020 @1:30–2:30pm, AND Thursday, December 10, 2020 @7–8pm for ages 6–12: Be among the FIRST to hear book 3 in the Centipede Dragon series, and then give your opinions directly to me!
In this workshop, we're going to talk about how making your character come to life will help you create stories about him/her/it! We'll start with an exercise to get to know your character inside and out. Then, we will build on a story plot and explore what makes a story compelling to read. Finally, we'll use drawing and doodling to help us get our creative juices flowing! The downloadable files below can help you in your own storytelling journey.
