For the last month I’ve been volunteering in the most fun program called Young Story Tellers for kids in an elementary school. I’m partnered with a young girl and my job is to encourage and mentor her to create a five page script from her own original story which will be performed as part of an assembly program with real actors. These kids come up with amazing stories, the boys seem to be captivated by video game scenarios but my girl has a complicated story with twin princes and princesses, a witch lady and a difficult curse to overcome. My going from novels to script mentoring has been fun.
