I attended a delightful workshop this past weekend called THE AMAZING IDEA OF PLAY.  The workshop was led by the fantastic author Charlotte Sullivan Wild, author of the picture book THE AMAZING IDEA OF YOU.  She spoke about the value of play in a creative person's life, and we spent some time playing with art and other practices meant to help us think outside the box.

I realized that I had not made much time for play in my life lately. I wanted that to change, so I dug through my resources and found three great books I could use to help feed my creativity!  Here's a short video about them, which is also posted on Facebook and Youtube.  For those who prefer to skip right to the key stuff, the books are:

1. The Artist's Way 
2. The Trickster's Hat 
3. Wonderbook

And you can find more information on Charlotte's beautiful book here. 

I hope you'll give some of these resources a try! If you are looking for books on the craft of writing, I have several that come to mind. I can make of those if that would help anyone. And I also have a video on revision resources already posted over on my Youtube channel.  I hope these help you on your journey! Have fun!

Alice signed me based on my manuscript LOVE LOCKED, which could be described as a tween ANNA AND THE FRENCH KISS meets GROUNDHOG DAY. Hopefully, you'll hear more about that story in the days to come!

For today, I'm celebrating the chance to work with Alice and make this story the very best it can be! Working with an agent is a new step in my writing career, and one that I'm thrilled to be taking!
