A Meeting with Robin
I enjoy talking with students interested in a writing career.
Kyle Pratt and Centralia High School senior Robin McGrew
Most of the authors I know enjoy talking with students. Established writers should support young writers and promote reading. I spoke on the topic of writing as a career in the digital age at Centralia High School back in November.
On Thursday, I met with Robin McGrew, a senior at Centralia High School, at The Station Coffee Bar in Centralia. Robin is thinking about writing as a career. We spoke for nearly an hour during which I told her that writing is a tough career to get started in, but I love it. I advised her, as I do with all novice writers, to connect with an effective critique group and hone her craft.
Robin, I hope you get an “A” on the assignment, and I wish you the best of luck as you start your career.
