Dear Barbara O'Connor

Sometimes in writing workshops, kids ask me what I do about writer's block.

I tell them I eat Oreos.

They love that.

I recently received the following letter:

We had so much fun with you! My teacher bought some Oreos and it really works. We love eating Oreos during writing time.We had so much fun with you.

I love kids.

P.S. That teacher, by the way, is Mr. White, whom I paid tribute to as the teacher in How to Steal a Dog.
