For authors wishing to learn how to write a YA best seller, it's nice to google for "Spurred by Sucess, Publishers look for the next 'Hunger Games'" by Lynn Neary. (don't know how to paste the link). I guess the Holy Grail is a YA novel with elemnets from Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games. Mine has only the first two. Thanks, Molly, for the interesting blog.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459102772155347338.post-2744654887883349362012-03-19T14:31:48.512-04:002012-03-19T14:31:48.512-04:00Thank you for leading me to the article, “Your Bra...Thank you for leading me to the article, “Your Brain on Fiction”. Last evening I returned from a 4-day Speech & Language conference and this article was a great topper for what I found most appealing in the workshops – ideas for using literature to address language delays in children & using “social stories” to encourage new behaviors with autistic students. <br /><br />The article stated, “Stories, this research is showing, stimulate the brain and even change how we act in life.” No wonder social stories are helping our kids! <br /><br />Once again, I thank you. I love stories and now I have additional rationale to read them, write them, and use them with my students.Jeanette W.
