Leslea Newman's workshop on how to research was adorable. Such a fan. I started to read her young adult novel, Jailbait and I'm loving the main character. I probably won't get far in it because I'll have to start reading for school soon.
A.J.'s workshop was the best workshop I've ever had where my own work wasn't being critiqued. She applied her comments and analysis to all of our work and she provided us with the tools to revise. I wish I had more time in the program to work with her.
During workshop time, I like to stare out the window.
I'm going to rename this, "Jen's Blog." She's one of the only people I know (not including Riva) who is as mesmerized by the camera as I am. (If you look carefully, you can see my lovely mentor in the background above Hannah's head. I swear to you, that was unintentional.)
I know this isn't realistic, but at some point today, I imagined Abbey and I could purchase an abandoned train that's no longer on tracks. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a writers' retreat center located in an old train? A girl like me will never stop dreaming.
