When Young Novelists Allude to the Butterfly Man in their Creative Work, the @cwpfairfield Director Delivers as Best as He Can

I'm not sure which writer solicited a butterfly man on Friday, but I do know that my life-mentor, Sue McV, sent me a box of monarch butterflies for such an occasion, I knew I had to entertain, deliver, offer, and provide a visual to what they wrote (metal wires and all). 

I was stocked, coincidentally, and I couldn't help but make my ZOOM-look pertinent to the occasion.

We're heading into plot week next week, and I am hoping that Butterfly-man is given a story line to meet the character that the young writer created.

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Weekends are bizarre interludes when a National Writing Project Director is in between Young Adult Literacy Labs, ongoing with teacher institutes, and using the weekend to catch up on materials and to get ready for a brand new week ahead. 

I had the butterflies and I knew I had to offer the young people exactly what they wanted (lucky for me, I was armed with several years of Grannie Annie stories and individuals who paid attention to my own tales. These were gifted to me). 

I am sure Butterfly-man was more donned in monarch-fabrics, but I had what I had and was quick to deliver. The hat I'd also where, unfortunately, was chewed up by Karal in a rare vengeance episode when I went to Big Y (the grocery store). The butterflies, however, were kept in their place and I was ready to deliver on-demand, which is all that can be asked of a CWP-Fairfield Director.

I had this, and I offered what I could. Here's to Sunday and all the day will deliver.
