I’ve been reading more than writing lately, which is strange, because my round table session on Friday at 2:00 at #NCTE18 is called “Overcoming the Fear and Seemingly Impossible.” (Stop by Room 320AB) I’ll be talking about FEAR and what I have done to overcome it in regards to writing. But am I still afraid? Yep.
This is my BIG week of learning each year. NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English) is my event! I’ll reunite with my #g2great “cousins” and learn with the “#BowTieBoys (I hear the #HairBowGirls will be here next year!). I’ll see some fellow Swing Launch Team members and Kwame Alexander. I’ll hang out with my #NerdyBookClub friends and talk about the National Book Awards (Congratulations, Elizabeth Acevedo for winning the YA Award with The Poet X!).
If you cannot be here, follow my tweets (@jdsniadecki) — I’m sure I’ll be retweeting everything the next 3 days. Reading and writing are so much more fun with friends!
