Do you have a child who dreams of being a writer? Or maybe itâs your dream? How do you support those dreams and foster creativity while also raising kids and running a household?
Today, Iâm delighted to welcome back author Laura Martin, whoâs giving us her very best advice for how to nurture your childâs creative dreams and your own.
Laura Martin is the author of some of my very favorite page-turners for kids, including The Edge of Extinction series and Glitch, and she has a new book out, Wander Lost, that I know youâll love too.Â
We talk about the importance of capturing ideas as they come, what creative writing curriculum gets wrong about being a writer, and lots more.
In this episode, youâll hear:Â
- Why Laura says that ideas are like lightning bugs
- How Laura nurtures her daughterâs creativity with time, space, and access to materials
