Did you know author Roald Dahl also wrote two hours a day? You’re in good company. What I most appreciate about your post is your advice to have fun. Writing can sometimes feel scary or hard, even when it’s something you enjoy. When you can approach your writing playfully, it can make a world of difference. Best of luck on finishing your book!

I remember a few years ago when I was teaching third grade, I had an author come speak to my class about how to be a writer. And now you have developed this wonderful list of practical advice that I will share with my current second grade students! I’d love to read your book when you are finished…and maybe you could come share it with my students, just like that writer did in third grade! Keep writing Jasper!

My favorite line was: “No loud sounds of children, but pure time to write.” You sound like an old soul, my friend! I am very impressed that you are taking this on, but with Laura as your mom, I think writing is in your blood!

@Laura My almost 13 year old recently got into coffee. It is basically half coffee/ half cream with a giant spoon of sugar. It seems he takes about 5 sips of a very full cup then leaves it sitting someplace around the house to be discovered a a later date.
