\nWow…this is a tough one. It’d be nice to say that I’d teach editing or writing, but I don’t know that I would. As much as I’m a professional in both, a lot of what I do is based on instinct. Yep, I’m stumped. I have no idea what I’d teach. My gut instinct is to say that I’d work with little ones because my favorite age group has always been birth to five. I once worked at a daycare and loved it. Every age group has something that makes it special, but there’s something great about watching little ones discovering things. Perhaps that’s why I write children’s books right now. There’s something special about the joy in children’s faces as they listen to a good tale.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to teach story time, block building, and splashing in water just for fun? If so, that’s where I’d love to be. Maybe I haven’t totally grown up myself and you know what? I’m okay with that. Imagination is a beautiful thing and without that spark, being an adult can get mighty boring.<\/p>\n
