For the Love of Literacy

WHY READ? WHY WRITE?
Everything literary is welcome here! I love reading to myself & listening to audiobooks & podcasts as well as reading with my kids (physical text and digital media), & writing children's books as well as self-help books for adults.

When it comes to writing I believe that "writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things they can't forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released." -Natalie Goldberg

I have a passion & obsession for writing, but especially CHILDREN'S LIT with a little self-help for adults mixed in. Very different categories, but that's just the way I tick! I welcome anyone & any product that supports reading (to self, kids, etc.) & writing/creativity development.
