Today I was able to attend a GREAT Colorado Teen Literature Conference dedicated to Young Adult Literature. I was blessed with the time to spend with other bookies like myself. This was the second time that I was able to really delve into my love of YA literature.
Last year the conference was so influential in my teaching that I couldn't justify skipping this year, even when I didn't really have the extra time to spare. Last year I was introduced to NaNoWriMo- National Novel Writing Month- which changed my life, as well as the lives of 47 of my students! I couldn't imagine what was in store for me this year. So far, each year I am impressed with the quality of information and resources that are provided to us as teachers and readers of Youndg Adult Literature. It seems to me that each year I come a way with a new challenge. Last year- write a novel in 30 days- this year... create a blog which inspires young people and...well people my age... to enjoy and embrace a life full of imagined worlds and harsh realities.
About Me
- J. Hildred
- I quit my teaching job to stay home with my boys almost 6 years ago. It was the best decision my husband and I ever made for our family. It hasn't always been easy or perfect, but it has been wonderful! I have enjoyed the time I get to spend at home with our littles, but I also discovered that I needed an outlet. I workout at the gym for my body, but my brain also needs a workout. I decided to start a blog to exercise my brain a bit.
