Teen writers: Drawing Dragons Day 178

Today, my teen writing class at Portland Community College wrapped up. It was an incredible week. I had poets, novelists, short story writers, and quite a few artists.

I hadn’t planned it at the beginning of the week, but by the end of the week, I knew we had to make a zine.

These kids were ready. They had dialogue and settings, drawings of strange characters, and so many pieces of art.

Art in the biggest sense possible.

One poet writes better at 14 than I ever will.

One boy has a better understanding of dragons than I do.

They were sassy with each other and oh so smart. They shared their work and shared their time.

They were not angels. They were writers.

Here’s a page I worked on with them.

Keep creating,
