Yesterday I spent the day at San Roque School in Santa Barbara, ending their week of author visits (Mary Hershey and Mark Williams had been there the two previous days). Interesting school—San Roque. There are no desks in the entire school, nor are there textbooks. Hmmm...not sure I know how I feel about that. But the focus on literature is great for writers...their library was amazing, as was their cafeteria. I had buffalo burger! Oh, my!
I gave three presentations in their science room, then later made the rounds as the kids were involved writer's workshops. One eighth grader asked how should he deal with writer's block. I told him that writers block didn't exist...he just had to allow himself to write a terrible first draft and then move on to revision. All in all, the kids at San Roque rocked...literally. You should have heard them in the band room. Greg

“Great presentation by Greg Trine! Children and adults were fascinated by his unique journey of becoming an author...Greg's entertaining yet realistic account of becoming an author inspired all of us to read and write just for the sheer joy of it!” Nancy Thorne 6th grade teacher, Hawthorne Elementary School
