I really enjoyed my visit to Oak School on Feb. 9. The students and staff were so friendly and attentive. I came “in character” as Lilah, all done up in my sea witch costume, blue wig and all, and talked about setting, plot, character, voice, editing, and character arc using colored slides to illustrate. It was intense but very fun and very fulfilling. I’d love to do more of these assemblies. There are so many wonderful writers out there just waiting for a little encouragement!
