As you write today, I challenge you to be a bit daring than you typically are. Try something new. Write about something daring. In the words of Ralph Fletcher, be a daredevil!
Poems are the ‘daredevil’ of writing because a poem will say what nobody else wants to say.
Ralph Fletcher
Happy slicing!

I couldn’t find the response link on your blog, but I wanted to say I enjoyed this and can’t wait to read Serravallo’s book Reading Conferencing. I recently won it in a raffle.
