2. I got back from Upstate New York a few days ago, but not before visiting with the very vivacious ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
deenaml who, according to the Tanya (sp?), the children’s librarian, breathed new life into the place. It was so much fun talking books and publishing and agents with her. Here’s her take on it.
3. I also visited with the librarian at Victor Intermediate School. It just so happened she emailed me a couple weeks before my already-planned stay 10 minutes from there. Her email? They’d chosen The Gollywhopper Games as their Community Read book. So not only will all the 4th - 6th graders read it, but for a month, the spirit of the book will be incorporated into every subject they take. Including p.e. They’re meeting to discuss the exact plans soon. I can’t wait to hear the details that come from this very creative school.
4. If you get a chance to catch the movie, Every Little Step, do. It’s about the casting of the revival of A Chorus Line. What stopped me, as a writer, were how a couple small changes to the show made every difference to its success. Very interesting, especially during this rewrite phase for me.
5. I’m off to the zoo this morning. Great way to kick off the weekend!
