I've been that girl, not sharing thoughts or ideas out of fear. I'm inspired that you fought through the fear and put yourself out there. I'm beginning to do that more. Thanks for the encouragement.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397758479550101279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-83989612472980237832010-04-19T18:14:48.278-06:002010-04-19T18:14:48.278-06:00I am glad that the gift of writing in you wasn'...I am glad that the gift of writing in you wasn't stifled along the way and that you share this gift with us.S.

I love how she points out how our culture has inhibited us as writers. One of my favorite books to read to my kids is More Than Anything Else by Maria Bradby. It's the story of Booker T. Washington's hunger to learn how to read. We take so much for granted.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your love of writing!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2273998760028140856.post-88454256935110978422010-04-19T11:49:35.186-06:002010-04-19T11:49:35.186-06:00Mark must be reading "Right to Write" wi...Mark must be reading "Right to Write" with us. His exercise is a lot like the intention exercises in Cameron's book.<br /><br />I think it's fascinating to learn how we use our gift of language.
