Abigail is her Momma's daughter, she loves to write! Sometimes it's poetry, other times she written short stories. She's put a few of her works on her blog and if you've listened to any of her speeches you know how fun it is to listen to her writings. , but most of them are housed in dozens of notebooks in her room. She's even entered a few contests and had some success which is always encouraging to an aspiring writer.
This summer Abigail's friend Elaine, pictured center in the upper right photo, invited Abigail to join her for a writer's group. The girls are participating throughout the summer in a group of high schoolers and college students in a writing group. Youth get together weekly with an accomplished published author to share their work, exchange ideas and discuss the ins and outs of being a writer. So far Abigail has received great critiquing on her writing. Getting praise is always fun, but she learns so much more by listening to and processing criticism. It's a life skill we could all use.
During today's class, Caleb and I played a few games on the touch screen game table. Don't worry, we moved when some of the younger kids wanted to use the board!
He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.
