I'm so excited to share some Big News with you...
The Write Start (the book) will be hitting the shelves On December 28 thanks to the amazing folks at Trumpeter Books.
The idea for this book began with this blog, so most of all, I have you guys to thank for supporting, encouraging, and sharing my passion for all things writing-related. I feel like if we all band together, we'll lead our own writing revival, starting with the littlest of people (who often have the BIGGEST of ideas).
If you have any specific questions about the book, I'd love to answer them in the comments or over here. Or pop me an email any time, of course. I can't wait to give you some sneak peeks over the next few weeks, details about the process of putting it all together, and also some behind-the-scenes book launch fun.
Thanks again for coming along for the ride, and for sharing my happy preoccupation with raising children who love to write.
Well, this is just awesome. Congrats.

Wonderful! I am a new follower of the blog, but am quickly reading through the archives. I am special education teacher taking some time off to raise my own writers, and am finding so many wonderful inspirations here. You are on the same wavelength as some of the amazing OT's I had the honor to teach with.
