Once upon a time there was a teacher who loved writing. (Yes, this story is about me. Aren't they all?) The teacher loved writing so much that she and her class wrote a book. It was such a beautiful book that the teacher decided to use lulu.com to make it into a real, live book. She convinced a photographer to snap some lovely pictures to accompany their words. Her class raised enough money at the jog-a-thon for each student to have a copy of their very own, real live book. The children beamed. The teacher beamed. The parents beamed. They had done it, authored a book of their own.
Just when the teacher and her class thought they couldn't be happier, the teacher got an e-mail saying their little book was now going to be featured on amazon.com for all the world to see. The students were thrilled that children in China , Moscow , and even the remote jungles of Sacramento would be able to read their book, Drumming Hearts and Rosy Lips. I am now big and famous and poised to sign autographs. Oh yeah, they all lived happily ever after. The end.
That's awesome Alicia!! Kudos to you and your class! You're doing pretty great at this writing thing, between the book & your blog posts. I look forward to your amusing musings :) Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzy. This summer I'm off to a writing retreat at a spa in Arizona. So that should give me some new writing ideas, too. I know, it's a rough life I lead. Have a great summer!
