Admittedly obsessed with American and Native American history, Sherry Alexander comes by it honestly. Her ancestors were pioneers who traveled west in hopes of making a new life, and she was fascinated by the stories of their lives on the frontier.

Watching people and kids interact at the library, the grocery store, the coffee shop, or on the school playground inspires me. Listening to people talk, the news, radio talk shows, and overhearing snippets of my grand kids conversations with their friends gives me new ideas on how to handle whatever story or article I am working on.

If none of that works, then I set the piece I am presently working on aside, and start something new. (less)

That happened this month when the daughter of a friend read an article I did on Screevers for Guardian Angel Kids' July issue. She told me she would be "screeving" all summer.

Now that is the absolute best part of writing!

Finding the Courage To Be You!

Finding the courage to be yourself is not as easy as it sounds especially with all the forces against you. No I am not talking about the StarWars forces of darkness and light. I am talking about the pressure from family, friends, teachers, and others who see a future for you that you have not imagined. Yesterday, as I watched the new movie, Ferdinand the Bull, I was reminded how we, parents, w Read more of this blog post »
