Last night was awesome! The Dream Keeper Writing Circle met at Capitol Drive Library, and we wrote tall tales. I grew up hearing tall tales about such characters as Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.

We met footballs that turned into hungry monsters, trains that chased people, and stolen princesses. For the most part, the endings were happy. (Whew!)  Come join us during July and August for Dream Keeper Writing Circle AND our wonderful Super Reader Writing Workshops.

Happy New Year!   Last fall was amazing and exhausting!   I led 9 four-day workshops at various branches of the Milwaukee Public Library.

Take a look below for a listing of our amazing winter and spring workshops at the  Milwaukee Public Library . As always, the workshops are free and open to the public and all supplies are provided.
