As long as I'm yammering about writing for 9th graders I'll tell you about one of my most fun author moments.
Picking up from here: https://law-and-politics.online/@Teri_Kanefield/110724272437824993
I was invited to speak to a 9th grade assembly in a Arizona high school.
So I'm up there on the stage talking about Alexander Hamilton and a student raises his hand and asks, "When are you going to write a book about Donald Trump?"
He was obviously trying to yank my chain. Kids do that.

  I wanted to expand on something @jobsboils@mstdn.social just said. He said, "As a society, we are literally entertaining ourselves to death." I've written a lots of nonfiction for high school and middle school students. What was wrong with books for kids was the idea that they needed to be "fun." Me: Nope. That insults kids. My theory: The books need to be interesting. (My books won lots of prizes and they're widely read by adults.)

  @Giastacey If you go up to the three dots by your profile there is a place to message people.
  I don't think it is as secure as could be but that's how it's done.
  The guy to ask is @feditips

  The equivalent of DMs on here is the mentions-only visibility mode. When you create a post with this visibility, only accounts mentioned within the post can see that post.

  That was shortly after Trump was elected in 2016.
  I didn't miss a beat. I said, "Everything I write is about Donald Trump."
  Well, an auditorium filled with 9th graders suddenly became very quiet.
  I launched into a discussion about how Donald Trump "types" have been with us since the founding of the nation.
  They were listening. All of them.
