“Has increased globalization and environmental activism changed the stories we tell our children?” This was the question that I was left with after attending John Lampen’s workshop, “Writing for Children with Respect,” at Quakers Uniting in Publications’ (QUIP) annual conference. It was not a question Lampen asked. It was his analysis of why monsters are presented differently today that caused me to think about it. What I found fascinated me and I hope you will also find it interesting to ponder, whether you agree with me or not.
I am a software architect, Quaker, blacksmith, black belt, author, father of 3, and husband to one; whose home is in New England, USA. I have always wanted to write long works (fiction or otherwise), but I don't have the time now. This is a place to express my ideas in a shorter form.
The opinions here are mine. I do not claim to be an expert on anything, but I don't apologize for expressing my thoughts. That said, I am never as dogmatic as my writing, so please be kind.
