I hope you all enjoyed Mrs. Brockmole and her discussion of her writing and publishing process.
4 unpublished books!
4 years waiting to find a publisher!
13 revisions of a book after it was accepted for publication!
But she said to be persistent and she was. Now she's a published writer--a good one too. Good writing takes hard work just like anything you want to be good at. She's dedicated and all that dedication finally paid off.
Like all good writers she spends a lot of time revising, editing and revising again. she also spends a lot of time reading. Reading and writing will forever be intertwined. If you want to be good at one you better do a lot of the other.
Her book is called Letters from Skye and it is available in the IMC.
Tomorrow I return your author's craft essays.
Tomorrow in the honors classes we'll take a closer look at our essential question: Does one person have the power to make a difference in the fight against prejudice? We might even get our first look at the book Warriors Don't Cry.
In the standard class we'll spend a little time getting to know about Brown and the Board of Education.
Well the one thing we did right
Was the day we started to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize, oh Lord
