It's easy to pick it apart and say "discovering the story" or "becoming the characters" or "the excitement of the journey," but truly, it's all of it. The moment of inspiration, the act of creating, the feelings pouring out of you and onto the page while you explore emotions and ideas that you know you'll never really grasp and you'll only scratch the surface of at that...You'll spend your lifetime trying anyway.

All of it is a dizzying circus of joy and wonder and I can't get enough of it.

Now if you think that sounds way too optimistic, ask me about the worst part of being a writer. I've got some cynicism in me yet.(less)

Welcome to Montours City!

It's the town where Annie panned for gold in the creek in 1979 and turned to her veteran neighbor as a friend and confidante in Gold in the Days of Summer. It's the place where Lia's world was shattered as she struggled to shape her own identity in the midst of chronic illness at the turn of the new century in The Last Letter. It's the contemporary home in which Lilac dreamed a life she'd never ge Read more of this blog post »

Crazy for Young A...: #11 Readathon: Claim Your Points 190 175 Aug 07, 2017 11:18AM  
“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
C.S. Lewis

“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“I need someone. I need to hold somebody close. And I need more than this holding. I need someone to understand how I feel at a time like now. And the understanding must be part of the holding.”
Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
Madeleine L'Engle

“A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”
Madeleine L'Engle
