This was a visit to my actual elementary school – the one I was a student in all those years ago! I was trying out a new story called Pumpkinstein – one that I have since retired. It wasn’t that it didn’t totally work, honestly it was more the run time of the story. My longest story is ‘Timmy” which runs 20+ minutes and is meant for older elementary kids. Pumpkinstein ran about 35 minutes and was geared to a younger audience.
No amount of editing could fix it, even though I remember these children enjoying the story, it was just too long and too much story. Thank you to 2001 Ms. Lacava for allowing me to test out my new material!
