You're a Story Magician!

Congratulations Young Writers' of Sonoma County!
I loved being part of the Celebration of the Young Writer at Bernard Eldredge, May 16th, 2007!
You are all amazing Story Magicians!

A big thank you also to Library Magician, Marie Hinton, and all the members of Gateway Reading Council for inviting me to be part of this wonderful celebration. Thanks also for the anthology, filled with the young writers' work. I was awed, astonished, and "blown away".

They say a book should have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
Sometimes, I think the beginning is the scariest part.
I've had this blog since May, but I haven't written a word.
How should I begin? What should I say? And how do I post a picture in my blog? I am so non-techie. :-(
But I promised the fabulous young writers of Sonoma County that the first thing on my blog would be congratulations to them. It's later than promised, but as my bio says, I'm a wanderer. But I'm not lost!
Seems I often begin writing through inspiration or prodding by someone I care about, whether my children, my husband, young writers, or my book characters.

So here's the cheer you helped me shout out last May. You inspired me to write this cheer, to name my blog, and finally, to begin it. Here's to Beginnings. Keep writing those stories. You are each a story magician.

I’M A STORY MAGICIAN
I PLAY WITH THE WORDS
I ARRANGE THEM IN STORIES
SO THEY CAN BE HEARD

I’M A STORY MAGICIAN
I IMAGINE NEW WORLDS
I BRING THEM TO LIFE
LIKE SHIMMERING PEARLS

I’M A STORY MAGICIAN
I’M AWAKE! I’M AWARE!
I SIT WITH MY NOTEBOOK
WRITING STORIES TO SHARE
