The Camp

We traveled far in a week, but the writing and thinking never really ends. I tell my students that ideas come from everywhere and nowhere. Famous author, Tom Romano, preaches that if you develop a writing state of mind, you need not to worry about finding topics on which to write. So true. As long as you have something to write about, everything else will follow. Your voice, skill, and craft will only get better, as long as you keep on truckin’.
