A poem by my 9 year old for school.
I wish
I wish i could fly
through the bright blue sky
and soar through the clouds.
The clouds
would lift me higher and higher.
The sun would gleam in my eyes
as I pass it by.
The moon would say hello
when I passed by the stars.

Connected
After nearly a month of moving, putting things in boxes, taking things out of boxes, telling my kids to quit fighting over who gets to sit in the biggest box, the box that has proved to be my favorite is up and running: My new modem.
I have spent the entire morning checking emails, reading facebook posts, catching up on friends' blogs, and getting reaquainted with the literary world. I feel like I have been re-accepted into society. Which makes me ponder being connected.
When your community of people is scattered to all ends of the world, being connected to them is dependent on your ability to reach them. Yay for facebook! But...
I find myself thinking about how important it is to not only reach out over those lines, but make a proactive effort to connect.
I am blessed with a writing community in my area that I haven't taken advantage of, at all. Shame on me. It's time.
At the SCBWI Conference, nearly every speaker spoke about the importance of your community. Writers groups, regional SCBWI groups, online writing groups, a friend from school. Find someone who shares your passion, and make yourself accountable to them for your writing.
Where to start? Not really sure. But I do hear a night out with my local Hamline group scratching at my door.
