This open letter, calling for the immediate repeal of the discriminatory HB2, tonight went out to North Carolina Governor McCrory and the NC General Assembly from 48 Tar Heel Children's Book Creators, including yours truly, with the support and solidarity of 17 North Carolina Bookstores. Heartfelt thanks to all:

| Part blank verse, part prose, this feminist historical imagining of the younger traumatic years of Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi focuses powerfully if too exclusively on her father's usurpation of her greater talent, her rape by the artist Ago ...more | |
“I inhaled the musty, leathery, old-papery scent and a shiver passed over me. If I had any idea of heaven, it was this: shelves and shelves of books, ten times as many as were upstairs, each with stories or pictures more exciting and beautiful than the next, and two overstuffed chairs big enough for me to sleep in.”

“The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon.”

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
