An interview on The Writer’s Journey

May 4, 2009 – 11:39 am

I did a very fun and introspective interview for Meredeth Resnick at her blog, The Writer’s Journey. Check it out! She really made me think. :)

Uh-oh…the cool factor.

April 19, 2009 – 8:47 am

I’ve been on a trip to Miles City, MT doing a few school visits.  I’ve always felt fairly confident with the younger kids, but now that my new poetry book is out (What’s the Weather Inside) I’m doing a lot more sessions with kids from upper primary.  On Friday I got a pack of wild sixth graders (if any of you are reading this, I mean that in a good way)! It was late in the day on Friday and I was expected to keep their attention….somehow.

I was kinda, sorta nervous. :)

But I think it went well. When I was done and the kids were leaving they said things like, “YOU ROCK” and gave me fist bumps and high fives. And I got to sign a cast (get well soon Trevor)!  I also read the first chapter of my novel to a group of advanced fifth graders. One really sweet girl said, “Drop everything else and finish that so I can read it!” So I guess I have to finish it.

Just a little good news update. Hope everybody is having a great spring. I’m loving the sun and sky and warm breezes….and the melting snow/ice.  The mud? Not so much.

She’s Not

April 14, 2009 – 12:56 pm


For all you moms with tween girls…maybe you can relate.

Chrissy

She’s not cute anymore.

Not pretty.  Not adorable.

She’s not toothless.

She’s not thigh-high, tugging my shirt.

She’s not begging for Barbies.

She’s not following her brothers around,

trying to get their attention.

She’s not reading Magic Schoolhouse

or watching Blues Clues.

But damn she’s beautiful.

When did that happen?

Poetry Friday-In memory of Shel

April 10, 2009 – 11:57 am

Shel…. Shel

The master of show, and never tell.

Shel.

Wrote pint-sized sarcasm oh-so-well.

Shel.

Didn’t care that children often rebel.

Shel.

At visual humor, oh how he excelled.

Shel.

Putting kids everywhere under his spell.

Shel.

Sure to inspire, sure to compel.

Shel.

Went up and not down when he fell.

Shel.

KW….
