What a fabulous day the Toronto library has planned! I’ll be adding this link to my website for my teen writers. Now, to convince my local library to consider a similar event. Hope you have a great day.
Thanks for helping to spread the word, Heather. I love the writing prompts on your website!
Thanks for dropping by, Karen. Glad you liked the prompts. They’re a popular landing place for the site–especially at the beginning of the school year. All the best!
