But, it turns out writing is her favorite thing to do. Even the hard parts – and there are a lot of hard parts.

K.M. Walton also co-authored a book on the teaching of mathematics called TEACHING NUMERACY: 9 Critical Habits to Ignite Mathematical Thinking published b

I think this might be my last post here

Sigh. This will probably be my last post here. I haven't posted a single thing since last March, so. It's kinda sad. This blog is what helped me become the author I am today. I learned mountains and mountains of information from my fellow bloggers, many of whom remain my friends to this very day.

But people change, times change, and I have moved on.

Good news though, you can keep up with me and my Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by K.M. Walton  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I wanted you, precious reader, to feel the pain of the bullied, the neglected, the heartbroken, and the humiliated.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“I’m done before everyone else. I sit back and watch my team in various stages of undress and marvel at their smallness. Don’t get me wrong; they’re definitely not a girly-girl group. Our best pitcher could probably level half the baseball team with her eyes closed, and she’s less than half my size. Some girls have their legs up on the bench, untying their cleats. I couldn’t get my leg up on this bench anymore with a crane. But not for long. Good-bye pizza, ice cream, and cheese fries. I want to win.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“Cara’s not good with emotional stuff. She sort of shuts down or changes the subject instead. She’d probably abandon our friendship if she knew how fragile I feel right now and then I’d have no one. So I keep my sadness to myself. It’s private and it’s all mine.”
K.M. Walton, Empty

“The world was hers for the reading.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.”
Joseph Addison

“A word after a word after a word is power.”
Margaret Atwood

“I read like a wolf eats.
I read myself to sleep every night.”
Gary Paulsen
