Link to Teaching Authors two weeks of thanks
Yesterday my 14 year old niece interviewed me for her journalism class. While my family around me wondered why she would choose me to interview, I felt privileged that she asked me…as an author. Her questions were good. They made me really think, and I enjoyed telling her about this journey. She asked me when I knew I wanted to be a writer. I told her the story about finding my diary from 1975 when I was her age. (See this post.) When she asked what advice I would give to students who would like to be writer, I said surround yourself with people who affirm and support you.
Today, for the Two weeks of Thanksgiving, I am writing a thanku for all of my people who support this crazy writing life.
How the live oaks stand
On roots of strength and caring
I am blessed by you.
