A Brave Writer's Life in Brief

Friday Freewrite: Holiday Foods

Write about one food tradition in your family for Thanksgiving.

Friendship

Last week, I got to skinny dip in the Pacific ocean halfway around the world on the North Shore of Oahu. My four best friends from high school and I celebrated our half century mark together! 1961—President Obama’s birth year and ours.

People who’ve known you your entire life are especially valuable as you get older. One way to stay young is to value your friendships with those who knew you when you were young. (I remember reading that.) It’s true! I felt like a kid while we had dance parties in the kitchen and laughed until our sides hurt remembering the ridiculous antics of our high school days.

It was also nice to have some time off after an especially hectic summer for Brave Writer. I did spend the entire flight over putting final revisions on the Jot It Down writing program. We’ll put those final edits in next week with a release date of September 20 pending. It’s looking beautiful!

I returned to rain, cloud cover and temps in the 60’s. Fall is here in the northern hemisphere. I hope to be back in the blogging saddle as well. What topics would you like me to cover? Post them in the comments and I’ll see what I can do.

🙂

Aloha!

Brave Writer on Vacation!

I’ll be taking my family to an ocean this coming week and will not be blogging. Check out our newest addition to the language arts family: The Wand! Orders will continue to be fulfilled.

See you mid-July when we ramp up for the fall!
