Tonight I watched a wrinkle in time with my daughters. It is the first book I have ever loved. I met Madeline L’Engle when I was 16 and she is the first person who ever told me I would be a writer or maybe she was the first person I believed.

On Allison’s blog she has a post about “remember who you are doing this for.” The fact is I am doing this for me. I have always been. It is just sometimes I forget.

She is a great woman. I corresponded with her through out my early adult life and she always took my work seriously and believed in me a great deal. She also told me never to take a writing class and just write which seemed like great advice at the time.

Have you read the other books in the series? They are all wonderful.

“You sure know how to attract great mentors.”
I really don’t think this has much to do with me as far as talent.
I think the universe knows I forget everything I know to be truth constantly so it is forever sending me reminders. I am also partly blind so they have to be big.

Oh and I think end of ringless light was stunning too.
