Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get." -Dale Carnegie. Books and Other Writings. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Mastering the First Draft. The first draft is your draft.

Aloha Young Writers!: In the Beginning...
http://alohayoungwriters.blogspot.com/2015/08/in-beginning.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Being the beginning of the school year and the beginning of this year's Writer's Club, we started with the lesson about beginnings.

The hook must have a problem, raise a question, have something unusual, and/or make a promise. Important Information: There will be no Writer's Club next week! Come hang with us...
