I am so glad it resonated with you!
Thanks Carl!
So excited to be keynoting at the Wisconsin State Reading Association conference in two weeks! Early bird pricing ends tomorrow so scroll to the last slide in order to register.
And yes I know there are writing experts and educators you emphasize volume. But as I work on book 13 I feel like that is not only not efficient but really gets in the way of thinking, reading, pacing and puzzling things out.

Uncomfortable truth for writing teachers that I first learned as a writer (and am currently totally living through as I work in my latest 😅): most of ‘writing’ time is spent NOT spent writing.
Invite us to your community to present Teach Black History All Year, a virtual or in person institute for K-8 educators. For more information go to BlackHistoryInstitute.org. Photos of Dr. Sonja Cherry-Paul and M. Colleen Cruz.
The Teach Black History All Year Institute is now available exclusively to schools, districts, and educational organizations. @mcolleencruz.bsky.social

PS- he likes fantasy, horror and historical fiction. Not so much contemporary stuff. Really likes to get lost in the world of a story. (Ideally something new or off the radar. We know and/or have read the classics and popular books.) 📚❤️
Looking for a great book to read aloud to my own kid (middle schooler). He likes action packed/ edge of seat books with great world building and compelling characters. He has also requested something with battles or danger or violence 🤔.
