Today was tough. I broke down. As much as I couldn’t wait for the girls to go to school today, I also didn’t want to let them go. You know the parent who you roll your eyes at–the one carrying a camera and running after their child, to give one extra hug, as they enter the school? Yeah. That would be me.

Write-a-Scene Writing Prompt: In honor of the first day of school — Write a scene about your protagonist’s first day jitters, ie: first day of school, first date, first kiss, first day of job, first day of babysitting, etc. Remember to up the tension!

Consider yourself warned: I write books about rebels. I'm also a postergirlz for readergirlz, a literary advisory group for teens. Who knew going back to the teenage years would be so rewarding?
