Since I was 8 years old, I fell in love with stories, more specifically horror stories. As I matriculated through academia, I fell in love with all types of literature. Then, I taught 7th and 8th grade English and learned the power of writing. Writing is a reflection of knowledge. It allows one to not only demonstrate expertise, but it also allows one to demonstrate skill. If a child could write, and write well, then a child would be deemed literate. I’m not only interested in teaching children how to write.

Do you know what happens to the writer who has never written? Or what about the writer who writes and then stops? What happens to the writer who’s too busy to write or too scared to write? Slowly and slowly and bit by bit, his or her writing magic loses its spark.
