My Visit to Lely High School

Yesterday, I visited Lely High School, home of the Trojans. It was kind of fun, visiting one of my high school's rivals. I spoke to 10 classes about writing, the process of getting published, and "Show, Don't Tell"--one of the lessons I really enjoy giving. I loved meeting with the students--many of whom were extremely bright. One of the students had already written at 300,000 word fantasy epic. (He will probably turn it into more than one book.) That is an amazing feat for a student in high school!
