Fort Osage Young Authors Conference

Today I had the honor and privilege of leading two poetry writing workshops for the Fort Osage District’s Young Authors Conference. There are certain moments in life that bring such joy it’s difficult to really express with words. This day was filled with those moments. Watching so many wonderfully talented kids utilize their creativity—and doing so in a format that I love so dearly—was incredible. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Rebecca Conrad and the Fort Osage School District for inviting me to teach their young authors a little bit about poetry. I would also like to give a cyber round of applause to all the children there today who were brave enough to share their creativity with the world. I hope you all continue to write every day! Here are a few pictures of some of the remarkable kids I had the pleasure of teaching today. #TheFutureIsBright #FutureAuthorsofAmerica
