A Book About Life... for the Boy

As some of you may know, DJ will be 13years old, on October 22nd. I want to put together a custom book of writings, submitted by people in our lives, whether he knows them or not.

The theme of this book:

Life: How To Be… Things I Wish I Knew At 13!

You are invited to be a part of this book project. Unlike my other book projects, there will only be one original of this book and it will go to DJ. You can write about your own life, make a list of things to do or not to do, write a poem, an essay, a comic strip, a letter, Q&A style, collage, photos, use quotes, etc. It’s up to you. I encourage you to be creative.

If you would like to be a part of this, please send me an email. If you do not know my personal email address, send your response here.
Below are the submission guidelines.
