The Blank Page Is a Trampoline

Built for ages 8-12 who say ‘I don’t know what to write’ and then stare at the page like it bit them. We do short videos with the Book Maven (in a hoodie, drinking something warm) where we treat the blank page like a trampoline you bounce on. Small daily prompts, lots of drawing allowed, and a parent/teacher guide so the adults stay out of the way constructively.
