Ask
most writers about the major element to becoming a good writer
and they will invariably answer, "be a good reader."
However, there are millions of excellent readers who do not
believe that they are good writers.
Penelope Torribio, author, songwriter, playwright, poet,puppeteer
and
writing teacher
believes that
good writers
develope
habits of
thinking
like a
writer.
Penelope has taught children from preschool through teens
how to think like writers.
She is a frequent presenter at Author's Days and other presentations.
Penelope, a transformation specialist, blieves

of bugs in our eco-system, her award-winning photography

When one becomes aware of how interesting
and
how important bugs are to our survival, one will
never look at a bug in the same way again. I know.
