These words from one of my favorite writers, Jane Yolen, in one of my favorite books about writing, Take Joy, are guiding my portion of our presentation at NCTE.
Patrick Allen, Troy Rushmore, Stacey Shubitz, and I will be presenting on Saturday on the topic of allowing our adult lives as readers and writers to influence our teaching.

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.
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!).

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!
