Making It Up as We Go Along

During these unusual times, as we’re all making it up as we go along, creative writing can provide a valuable outlet for young people. It can allow a way for them to safely explore and process the changes in their world. It can also serve as a launchpad for imaginative journeys when real journeys are not as possible. To get started, the young people in your household can check out my website, which features a series of free writing tips. For those who want to dig deeper, I also have two writing guides: What’s Your Story: A Young Person’s Guide to Writing Fiction and Our Stories: A Fiction Workshop for Young Authors (both also available as ebooks).
