Not long ago,
I took a class about blogging from Nina Amir. I also bought many of her book and I’ve
learned so much from her about so many things in writing, as well as blogging.
About two years after taking her class and following
her plan I jumped right in and wrote about women who’ve made a difference in
our society throughout the ages and many that you’ve never heard about. I got
the idea after writing my YA book, Chilled to the Bones. I wrote it about the
heroines of the American Revolutionary War…how many of you knew that it was
Agent 355 who took down Benedict Arnold? To this day, we don’t know her
name, we do know that she was a member of George Washingtons Culper Spy Ring,
and we know she died in the British ship, New Jersey after giving birth. That’s
it, nothing more. To me, knowing about these unsung heroines can make a
difference in a kid’s life. It can inspire them to reach for the stars.
I decided,
after listening to CNN, speak about ‘what can bring our country together again’?
I had been thinking about this for quite some time. So I stopped writing about
Heroines and began writing about the history of state desserts. I mean, what
can bring people closer together than food, particularly a great dessert? How many people knew that each state
has its own dessert? I didn’t and when I discovered that I researched the
history behind each dessert and how it came to be so important to that state. I
call the blog, 'Bringing the US Together One State Dessert at a Time! I’ve also
written the recipe out for each dessert. All last year, every week I baked or
cooked up a dessert from each of the 50 states. The people at the barn, the
people at the football parties, and family gatherings loved each and every one.
So in a small way, no matter the politics my desserts brought people together,
and for just a while shared in the joy of food, the history behind it, and
forgot their differences in politics.
That's what writing can do, it can make a differnce.

An excellent post Linda. I enjoyed the bit about heroines in history. Who knew there were even girl spies in Washington's time?? And I am going right now to check out your desserts of the states on your blog. Thanks for posting this!

Wait. Do I get a dysfunctional dessert ..???
Not fair.

Food does have a way of bringing people together!
Doesn't it!
