Words to write by

Today is the birthday of two of my favorite authors: Louisa May Alcott and Madeline L’Engle.

Madeline said many interesting and important things, but one of my favorite quotes is this one: “You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

I will try to write today, but I am scheduled to spend most of it speaking. Details tomorrow.
