This is an awesome quote — one I can’t wait to use :). Thanks for bringing it to the fore (and on such a pretty slide, too!).
Wishing you joy in the windy city!!
Have loved Jane Yolen since her earlier Dragon books, and on. Thanks for reminding us of these important words. Best wishes in telling many others how important it is to write with students.
Hope someone out there will be able to “tweet” all your wise words! I’ll be following what I can. Can’t wait to hear about it!
