1. The Greatest Storytime Hour (Reading at HPB/Parmer Lane and Mopac)

I met some amazing child authors at HPB Parmer Lane. This one is Trinity; who just blew me away when she gave me a synopsis of her work in progress.

This young lady knocked my socks off when she explained her passion for writing great stories. We discussed abandoning an unfinished book. I told her it was okay to abandon stories and books before finishing them and placing another ahead of it. "It's not a chronological thing at all," I told her. I said that some books just push to the front and demand that you write them, and they don't care about other books that you started before them. "Me first," says the book that just came to you today, when you were actually working on another." I told her that some books and stories just pull at you more, demanding attention and that you have to obey the story and write it.
