Loved the Visit from That Fine, Fine Author
September 21
I tried.
Can't do it.
Brain's empty.
This is exactly how I felt yesterday, September 21st, the day Sharon Creech visited my school.
Like Jack in Love That Dog, I tried, but
couldn't do it. I write to reflect, but found there were no words yesterday. I thought of these lines. You have to admit, the timing is eerie.
I
was and am desperate to write now, but weekend obligations keep me from
my writing, so, for the moment, I share a few photos and remind myself that there is always tomorrow...night, there is always tomorrow night.
Like a maestro, Sharon Creech created a symphony of story.
I loved watching my students faces and seeing their reactions.
...especially the one leaning forward in her seat.
...and seeing them eagerly raise their hands.
So, since I don't have the time to really write, I created a book spine poem!

Truly a memorable visit for this author! Love love loved it. xx
