If you read the blog often, you know that I try to share book titles that appeal to boys who are reluctant readers. While I focus on books that boys may like, I don't often focus on writing specifically for boys. Well, here's an opportunity for all the aspiring authors out there to hone their craft and capitalize on the need for exciting books that grab boys' attention. The Highlights Foundation is offering this workshop on writing for boys. Check it out. Who knows? You may be the next Jeff Kinney!
Happy reading and writing,
Christine

genres.

Body of Writing offers a combination
of inspirational writing exercises and simple yoga postures as well as
meditation and visualization techniques designed to help workshop participants
access the stories they carry, often unknowingly, in their bodies.
Calming
breathing techniques will allow participants to move deeper into the process of
unearthing their stories. The artistic aspect of each participant will be
challenged and nurtured, and everyone will leave Body of Writing feeling
stimulated and relaxed. Some individuals will depart with new goals for their
writing lives or the start of a new piece.
Body of Writing is both
energizing and soothing. No previous experience with yoga or writing is
necessary.
Body of Writing participants
will explore their writing and their bodies, and receive the benefits of
connecting the two.
Attendees of this special
evening sampler of Body
of Writing will begin to learn how to leave their inner critics at the
door and listen to their bodies instead!
