Muse Online Writers Conference Wrap Up

Good morning Bloggerville fans. Today, my boss Joy came by and shared some of what she learned at her writers conference. Boy, she sure had fun!

So, one of the things she did was look at a picture and describe every detail in it. We don't have pictures her at the V Zoo, but we can look around us. Here are some of our observations:

Mori: I live at the end of the zoo. But, on the other side of the fence is another world. When I look through the fence I see: trees, lots of trees, birds and bird nests in those trees. There's a stream that runs along the fence at the V Zoo. Sometimes I see fish jumping. I wonder what it would be like to swim like a fish...

Elvis: I look at the sky and dream. I dream about when I can fly free, like when I let everyone out of their exhibits for Mori's birthday party. I see my wife Elvira and baby Elvin, our nest and am glad I'm here.

Lito: I see leaves high up on tree branches. I ike to stand on my hind legs and eat those leaves.

Star: I look over at Zebee and wish I could travel the world zoos like him. Maybe one week he'll take me aong. I see my sisters Honey and Jewel. I think I'm the prettiest, but don't tell them I said that.

Belinda: I see our campsite that the keepers made for us. I love to explore it and see where they've hidden treats for Boris and me. One time they hid honey combs in a hole on the side of a tree, another time they put apples in a bag and hid them inside the tent. It's fun to sniff out food.

Okay, so there you have what a few of us here at the V Zoo see when we really look around. Now it's your turn. What do you see when you look outside your home? Please share, we love hearing from you.

Bye for now, see you Thursday with another book review for all of you.

The Muse Online Writers Conference


Good morning book fans. Zebee here. This week my boss Joy is participating in her third Muse Online Writers Conference. She really has fun at these things.


People from all over the world get together online all week long. They meet in live chat rooms and workshops. This is really cool because you can pop in and out at your leisure. Well, not for the live chats, those you have to be there at a specific time.


So what do people do at the conference all week? The list of writer activities is nearly endless. Since my boss Joy likes to write for children, she attends workshops like our friend Margot Finke's titled "Write as tightas a granny's new girdle." Another favorite for her is put on by Devon Ellington. It's a dialogue workshop. She really has fun with the assignments in this one. There are ones about self publishing, web design, creating alternative worlds, writing romance novels and so much more I'll get writers cramp telling you about them.


Maybe next Tuesday she'll share some of what she did this week. Okay, here she comes and I have to get off her computer. See you Thursday for another great book for you to check out.
