Wow, my first post on the SAPL Teen Corner Blog! As you can see, I'm Kelci, and I'm part of the Teen Advisory Board here at the Library. We always welcome new members if this tickles your fancy!
Anyway, back to the point. On Saturday, April 14, I met an author. Award-winning teen author Don Trembath was in town conducting an interactive Creative Writing Workshop for teens! (Turns out authors are just like regular people! Who knew?) With Don leading the way, all 17 of us created and meticulously described a house, a character, and concluded our three hour journey by composing a dialogue between our character and one that another student had created. We were instructed to "write as we speak" and generate a conversation where our character was trying to sell the house we dreamed up. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in a bit of relaxing writing for the afternoon, and one can’t forget about all the scrumptious snacks! All it all, it was a great time, and I look forward to similar events in the future. Many thanks to Kathleen and Don for volunteering their time to create a fun-filled afternoon for us kids!
