  • Summary

  • Do you have a child who dreams of being a writer? Or maybe it’s your dream? How do you support those dreams and foster creativity while also raising kids and running a household?


    Today, I’m delighted to welcome back author Laura Martin, who’s giving us her very best advice for how to nurture your child’s creative dreams and your own.


    Laura Martin is the author of some of my very favorite page-turners for kids, including The Edge of Extinction series and Glitch, and she has a new book out, Wander Lost, that I know you’ll love too.


    We talk about the importance of capturing ideas as they come, what creative writing curriculum gets wrong about being a writer, and lots more.


    In this episode, you’ll hear:

    • Why Laura says that ideas are like lightning bugs
    • How Laura nurtures her daughter’s creativity with time, space, and access to materials
    • How Laura honed in on what she needs in order to write while juggling four children
