Today is quick write Thursday and Megan Frazer Blakemore introduced the most awesome strategy... the WORD HOARD! Check out her full lesson on Kate Messner's blog post here. Megan Frazer Blakemore is the author of The Water Castle and more!
Remember, my blog posts are more just a public place for me to share this process (and I am loving being in this gigantic global writing group) than producing anything polished or amazing. I'm hoping that later on in these posts I can find a tiny seed of inspiration for something more. So, here's my word hoard! Since I'm not in the middle of another piece of writing, I started with my puppy Lola and her historical namesake . I had to do a little research on Lola Montez before I could get started. I posted the "hoard" on Kate's blog, and got a reply just minutes later from Megan herself.
I'm starstruck, truly. The power of technology still blows my mind!
