Returned Home from Yale Writers Workshop!

I spent the last few days leading a Children’s and Young Adult writing workshop at the Yale Writers Workshop, and now that I’m home and have my bearings, I can clearly say it was fantastic. As always with those kinds of things, I left inspired and excited, and learned as much about my own writing as I hope my students did about theirs. Workshopping is such an important element of the writing process, and I didn’t realize how much I had missed it, not to mention how wonderful it felt being back in the classroom. (Teaching writing is about my favorite.)

Here are a couple of shots I took while I was away, though admittedly I was so into what I was doing I didn’t take many. Thanks very much to the conference coordinators, to each of my students, and to the other writers and faculty I got to meet. It was a terrific week!
