Feeling a bit back to normal now. Phew! Yesterday was still a little touch and go. I tried to get a few things done but felt I needed to rest now and then. This morning I'm up, I've done my morning pages, had some breakfast and feel ready to go. Looked through all my headshots and narrowed them down to a more manageable number to send to my agent. I'm hoping he is as pleased with them as I am. Way to go, Ms. Ball!
This year I've decided to volunteer and I'm excited because I went to an orientation yesterday for BookPALs. It is an organization through the SAG Foundation that I learned about and thought would be great to get involved with. I'll be assigned a school and will go read aloud to two elementary classrooms a week. They work with grades K - 5 but I'm not sure where I'll be needed yet. I'm so excited to hopefully get kids excited about reading. I love working with children and books were such an integral part of my childhood. There is magic in books. I can't wait to share some magic. Oh! And one of the fun parts is that I get to choose which books to bring in...so as soon as I find out what grade I'm assigned, I'll be looking for good suggestions. I'll keep you posted!
There is, indeed, magic in books. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteP.S.-I'm going to sound like techno dummy, but "following" on Blogger is so cool. Blog updates right to your blog! Quick 5 minute updates! Woo! You were my first "follower," so that's why I'm sharing this with you...and of course, the obvious fact that you won't judge me for being a dork.
