#Writers, please don't EVER give up. I've posted about this woman before (a former student), but think it merits repeating b/c today, even if for a short time, the book she was never supposed to be able to read (forget write) has overtaken Devon Price's at the top of "Children's #Autism."

There seem to be parallel problems here today also.🤔 She says deadlines can take a hike.

Here's the source of the only real laugh I've had today--from a former #autistic student who's now kicking tail with a recent #book. She gets utterly stupid comments so often she's started using correspondingly stupid "reviews" from Elf on the Shelf for answers.
Two snarky photos of a young woman's book beside an "Elf on the Shelf" who has apparently written clueless remarks about her or her book, such as "You don't look autistic to me" and "Autism isn't real."

A thought for #today from the brilliant Charlie Mackesy. Where I saw it originally posted, it was with these words: "Hello. A drawing for a cold December day. I hope you’re ok wherever you are in the world."
A drawing by Charlie Mackesy that is of a boy, a fox, a horse, and a mole walking together in the snow. A bright sunrise lights the sky and causes the dark spires of leafless trees to stand out in stark contrast. Text with the drawing reads: "I hope you know how brave you've been."

My current listen, and I'm riveted to the narrative. Highly recommend. 💔 What a different world we could be living in. 😢

💯‼️ Couldn't agree more! My next book is a whole story highlighting working GSDs like so many I've spent my life with. (All 3 sitting are genetic sables, but 2 so dark you can't tell unless up close.) I'm thrilled to have found 1st connection here to whom I don't have to explain! 😃

Original cover of the 1995 book "So That Others May Live: Caroline Hebard & Her Search-And-Rescue Dogs," by Hank Whittemore and Caroline Hebard. The photo is of Ms. Hebard with one of her German Shepherd working dogs. Both the woman and the dog are wearing orange working garb and seated on what appears to be a rubble pile in a disaster area.

Here's one of my absolute favorite #author quotes from someone I consider an absolute Master of the Craft: Thomas Harris. The foreword in this edition of "Red Dragon" is, to me, one of the best explanations I've ever heard of an intense creative process.

#books #writing
The cover from a 1990 edition of Thomas Harris' book, "Red Dragon" with a quote from the foreword superimposed across the cover. The quote is, "“To write a novel, you begin with what you can see and then you add what came before and what came after…. You must nderstand... you are not making anything up. It's all there and you just have to find it.” --from the foreword in this edition

👋 📚 #Book folks of any stripe: does anyone JUST HAPPEN to have a copy of THIS 1990 version of "Red Dragon" nearby? I am hunting for a Thomas Harris quote that's in the foreword. I have a copy, but it's at home--on the other side of the country. Heeeeeeelp.... anyone? Anyone??? 😃
