Wanted: Inspiration

Published by GHC • Oct 18th, 2009 • Category: Books & Writing, Junior Blogger Archives, by Julia

by Julia | The last time I sat down with the sole intention of writing to my favorite horse girls was all the way back in May! That’s five months, right? Math isn’t my strong suit… Anyway, I decided to write this when I was looking back through older blogs and fiction that I had written back in 2007.

Either way, there is one fact that can’t be denied: Horses inspire fictional writing…



What Makes a Good Horse Book?

Published by GHC • Mar 26th, 2009 • Category: Books & Writing, by Violet Inkpen
