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.
Your Thanku poem is beautiful. We’re all in this journey together, aren’t we?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
What a lovely Thanku poem. Thanks for participating, and a happy Thanksgiving to you!
Beautiful thanku! I love the photo, too. Trees are so photogenic!
