Amazing VCFA Blog Series!

As many of you know I’ve been attending the Vermont College of Fine art this year and getting my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. I will once again be Blog-MIA for two weeks while I am at my VCFA residency in July. But never fear because VCFA has created a whole summer’s worth of fantastic craft-blogs that is going on RIGHT NOW in the blog-o-sphere! There’s plenty of craft to learn about while I’m at camp (I mean school!).
