Here’s a cup of cheer coming your way—to all those who braved another several inches of snow, and -6 degree temperatures, to make it to the Writer’s Fest at the Farmington (MI) Comm. Library on Saturday, Jan. 17th—YAY! You made my day. I had a lot of fun and I, for one, was warmed by all your enthusiam and energy.
From my “For Writers” page ( http://shutta.com/for-writers/ ) you will now find the link to the poetry 101 handout I spoke of. There you will find other bits from the rather large handout you got at the program. [What can I say? It's the librarian in me . . . I tend to go overboard when gathering information.]
Keep writing, and may your writing mojo keep you warm!
And—for those who want it again—here’s the TODDLER’S CREED. (As well as a pic of my granddaughter!)

TODDLER’S CREED
If I want it, it’s mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it’s mine.
If I can take it away from you, it’s mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine.
If it’s mine, it will never belong to anyone else, no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.
