Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted
~ Martin Luther King, Jr., 1963
You can say anything you want, yessir, but it's the words that sing, they soar and descend...I bow to them...I love them, I cling to them, I run them down, I bite into them, I melt them down...I love words so much...The unexpected ones...The ones I wait for greedily or stalk until, suddenly they drop...
~Pablo Neruda
I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but it's just eggs hatching
Join us for storytelling, crafts, book talks and book signing! Meet some of the authors and illustrators from the SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) at Barnes & Noble, Ala Moana Center, on November 21, 2015, from 11:30 am-1:30pm. Booksigning from 1:30-2:30pm.
We work diligently at our craft, but what about the business side of
writing and illustrating? The Texas Chapter of SCBWI is hosting a
webinar this Tuesday, November 10 to help you structure your writing and
illustrating business, keep records, and understand sales tax and
deductions. The fee is only $10 for SCBWI members--one of the many reasons to renew your membership or join!
A revealing interview by author Ian McEwan (Atonement):
“I don't feel
confident at all. No I don't. Sometimes I pick up some work I finished
fifteen years ago and think, am I as good as that now? Could I do that
again? No, I think you'll find most writers are not confident they can
just turn out books...There's a great difference between that all that
public world of prizes and interviews and public readings and the
private world of the closed door, and the hiss of silence--and here we
are again, and what can you make come out of this of silence. And you
can't relax about it, you can't be certain that you can do it again."
