Going to Chautauqua to the Highlight's Foundation Children's Writer's Workhop can be summed up in three words: chocolate overload cake.
Chocolate - How sweet it is! Chocolate is a treat, a sinful indulgence. This experience is like getting all of the chocolate you want. We are in the candy store of writing.
Overload - We've learned so much that at times we feel on overload. Our little neurons are beginning to fry. We are ready to go home, process, write, and teach.
Cake - This experience is like having your cake and eating it too. This week of digging deep into writing has been rich and filling. We have grown as writers and as teachers. We have learned so much more than we ever anticipated to take back to our classroom.
Eat more cake!
