My writing class for teens began Saturday at Bellevue Community College. Twelve handsome, smart young people gathered (one was missing, must track down) and did writing exercises, discussed story structure and manuscript format, did more writing exercises, discussed critique process and demonstrated that they already have a very good grasp of this. Each spoke eloquently and enthusiastically about their planned summer project of writing a book!
Have no fear, friends and colleagues. If this dozen kids is any sign at all, the future is in good hands.
And . . . bonus feature: at least half of them want to write fantasy and science fiction. There's even a hard sf writer budding in this garden of riches!
So who's a lucky teacher?
