Yesterday my husband and I went to see the movie, “Julie and Julia”. I was inspired by it in many ways, but one was that Julie was able to connect with her readers through her regular blog. So…I am hoping to connect with my readers more by chatting a bit about this process of writing and publishing with my granddaughter. Perhaps some of you might have some comments. Actually, I have received many comments, but most seem to be in Russian, so I cannot read any of them. Others I had to delete because the content was not very appropriate! I do appreciate the feedback from those who did write.
Today a reporter from the Chicago Tribune came to my home to interview Karina and me about a series of nine workshops I will be doing for a school in DesPlaines, IL. These creative writing workshops will be for three third grade classrooms on Monday; three fourth grade classrooms on Tuesday; and three fifth grade classrooms on Wednesday. Karina and I are also doing a book talk, book reading, and book signing at 10 AM on Monday, October 12, at the Ela Public Library in Lake Zurich, IL. Any of you out there able to join us? I would hate to have a book signing and nobody showed!
Here’s hoping to hear from some of you,
Michele
