Mylee's Corner: The Art of Scrapbooking

 

Mylee's Corner: The Art of Scrapbooking

        With the beginning of the New Year, it’s time for me to start my new scrapbook. I started this hobby in the middle of 2024 for me and my boyfriend. We had a lot of plans for the summer and I wanted to record them. I love taking pictures because it keeps memories alive forever and I often sit and reminisce about past events. It’s the best idea I’ve had to date.

        My mom also loves to craft, especially with her Cricut, so she has a lot of cardstock paper. I use that as my base and glue pictures onto it. I write a title at the top and put stickers and gems on the pages. I plan to make a trip to Hobby Lobby sometime soon to gather more supplies so I can have stickers that match each theme. There’s a page for holidays such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day as well as pages of places we’ve visited and events we’ve attended. There’s a page full of movie tickets and a miscellaneous page for events that I didn’t have many pictures of.

        This has become one of my favorite hobbies. Visiting Walmart to print pictures has become a monthly trip for me. I love finding the perfect spot for each picture and remembering the event as I glue them down. It’s a simple hobby that takes some time and creativity. It’s quick and easy, yet the outcome can be beautiful. I highly recommend it, especially if you’re a sentimental person and love capturing memories as much as I do.

        I made many mistakes last year, such as the texture of the scrapbook, the writing utensils I used, my decoration choices, and so much more. I’ve learned from all those mistakes and I know I’ll make a few more with the new book. That’s all part of the process, making mistakes and fixing them as you go. It’s the perfect hobby that I can see myself continuing for a long time.

An Interview with Award-Winning Author, Todd Linder

 

An Interview with Award-Winning Author, Todd Linder

From Montana, USA, Todd Linder is the award-winning author of three middle grade chapter books: The Big Sky Boys And Life on the Spinnin’ Spur, Achim’s Pocket, and Grandmother’s Fan.

From Todd’s bio: As an elementary educator in years past, Todd spent many hours reading aloud to students in hopes of not just entertaining them, but to instill a love of being lost in a book. As a boy riding horses, Todd often wondered if he had been born a hundred years too late, and what it would have been like to cowboy with the likes of C.M. Russell in Montana, or the hands on the King Ranch in Texas. He’s realized at least part of that dream by living in Montana - The last best place.

Welcome, Todd!

GM: How do you find the balance between crafting intricate plots and developing compelling characters?

TL: I’m not sure whether there’s a right or wrong way to balance the two. I usually imagine a broad storyline and setting. This gives me a springboard to find the main characters that will inhabit it. The supporting cast is brought in as the story develops. In Achim’s Pocket I knew I wanted to write a story set in the region of Western Asia – Armenia, Turkey, etc. I patterned it after folktales that might come from there. Initially I imagined Achim as an older rather foolish man. After some thought he morphed into a young man with a sad vagabond life and great aspirations.

Plot development is one of those things that can vary every time I sit down to write. I often go back months later or longer to change the plot or character if I sense it needs it. Even though there are those that recommend doing a complete rewrite of a story, I rarely start over unless in the first few pages if it’s just not working.

GM: Can you share a pivotal moment in your writing career that significantly influenced your path to success?

TL: I think there was a pivotal moment where after I was rejected by many literary agents and or publishers, as have so many others. I came close to giving up. I eventually decided that I had to continue trying to write stories as a creative outlet for me if nothing else. As well they could be a kind of legacy for my grandchildren and family. It was about that time that I also decided to record them or some of them in audio format which has been great fun.

GM: How do you maintain originality and keep your writing fresh after publishing multiple works?

TL: As soon as I began reading at age five or six, I devoured books. My wife teases me about being an inveterate cereal box reader to this day. From the time I began reading to the present I have read or listened to thousands of books, articles, etc. All that reading has given me an inexhaustible source of ideas for potential stories. New ideas pop up all the time. On a recent plane ride returning from South Carolina, an idea for another one pestered me for hours. The day after I returned home, I grabbed a notebook and began laying out a rough plot and characters. An object or snippet of something will suggest a potential storyline and I jot it in a notebook. I think that habit is something most writers must do.

GM: What personal experiences or beliefs have most shaped your writing style and themes?

TL: I would say that as a Christian there’s a set of values and a worldview that steers me away from stories that reflect “pop” culture or social trends of the day. I want my stories to be fun, wholesome things to read or hear and not trying to influence kids to grow up too quickly. They’ll be exposed to those things all too soon. Let them grow up without all that.

GM: How do you approach the process of revising and editing your work?

TL: Editing and revising is not my favorite thing although necessary. I often read a passage or page to my wife to get her feedback. As I get into a story, I will realize that maybe something pages back in the manuscript needs to be revised for the story to move forward. It could be the addition or modification of a character or plot change.

GM: Are there any recurring motifs or messages in your books that you feel particularly passionate about?

TL: To date my books are each quite unique so they don’t really have a recurring theme or message. If there’s a recurring idea, it’s to promote characters with good character and values. At one time that was a norm in children’s literature and I would like to be part of bringing it back.

GM: Can you describe a scene or passage from Achim's Pocket that you found especially challenging to write, and why?

TL: With Achim's Pocket, the challenge was not so much the text but the images. The artist, Carina Reytblat, lives in Israel, which made communication a serious challenge. There are about nine time zones between Montana and Jerusalem, so we would sometimes be emailing in the middle of the night. The back and forth required to revise aspects of the artwork became challenging at times, but in the end, she produced great images.

GM: How do you handle criticism and feedback from readers and critics?

TL: Well of course feedback is important to a writer. We tend to become very attached to our stories. It can be uncomfortable at times but I think I’ve become less sensitive about corrections that must be made. When I view the change suggestions from other writers or editors objectively it becomes obvious that they’re better than my original wording or structure. Unfortunately, I don’t have a deep pool of beta readers who have time to read my work and offer a critique. The goal is to become a better writer with each book and that means somehow getting an honest, constructive critique.

GM: What advice would you give to aspiring authors who are just starting their writing journey?

TL: I would encourage them to write using their own creativity and not try to write for the “market.” A writer ought to be a voracious reader keeping eyes and ears open for potential story themes and character names. I keep a notebook for that purpose. I record potential story ideas as well as character names by region, quotes, sayings, jingoes, and colloquialisms. It’s fodder/resources for writing.
