All the Birds of This Day

to write is such a gift. i admire the people who work hard to write words that may or may not ever be read. to write story, to make other people care about your story, that is something that fascinates me. i'm reading a novel right now that has taught me so many things. I've been thinking about writing children's books, how i want to. how i think that children's stories are so important, because they shape the world. they shape of the thoughts of the youngest and most important people. I remember when i was little, i read roald dahl, and then when i wanted to write my own things, roald dahl was my teacher, I wanted to write like him. now i want to write like so many of the people i've read, which i suppose makes my writing my own, a product of all the voices that have spoken to me.
