weekly writing
Good (early) morning!
Good morning, Write Edge readers! After a long time, I’m greeting you first thing in the morning. I’m so excited to be doing so, as well as excited about the fact that I have a full week’s worth of content to offer you.
First, our motivational quote of the week. I think it’s encouraging us to consider our perspective. It’s always so easy to allow the negative events of the world get us down. Sometimes, though, we need to focus on the positive — and the possibilities.

Read the whole story now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop!
On Wednesday I’ll share a new book review with you. This week I’m offering my thoughts on Small Spaces, a new middle grade novel by author Katherine Arden. You’ll find that review in the middle of the week on The Write Edge Bookshelf.
Finally, at the end of the week, a new set of parenting adventures. Come back to read my musings on the summer, my thoughts on becoming the parent of one teen and two middle schoolers, and more. Check it out on Friday on Growth Chart!
Have a wonderful week, readers!
