Back to school

Lee filled me in on a public appearance he made on January 30th.

I got a chance to speak to some middle school kids at J. B. Martin Middle School in Paradis, LA. It's the same middle school I went to. It's not the first time I've gone there to talk to the kids, I think it's actually the third since Epic got on the market. It's always been a fun experience, and I enjoy giving back.

I talked to them about the things that inspired me to become an author, and what my life as an author is like today. I also did a character-creation exercise with them, to give them a taste of what it's like to come up with characters.

Talking to students is really a worthwhile thing that I enjoy. I try to take advantage of every opportunity I can to do it.
