I have handed Dreamcatcher over to the fifth grade class at St. Peter's here in Jefferson City, and I'm surprisingly nervous about it. I've had my work critiqued by many groups before -- my writing group, college classes, friends and family -- but this feels different. What if they want dragons fighting unicorns? What do I do then?
I supposed my greatest fear is the possibility that this project isn't as clear as I've always seen it in my head. This is the most fun I've had writing anything in a while, and I think I have a pretty good understanding of kids. (My nephew would probably tell you I'm childish, if you asked, and he's five.) Though they are complicated in their own way, kids never seemed like much of a mystery to me, not like adults. Maybe I'm wrong.
We'll find out soon.
