I wish you'd been the teacher librarian at my high school when I was teaching The Writer's Craft! Those quotes would have been great class discussion starters!<br />GailGail Lennonhttp://www.gleditingandcopywriting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199796958293321265.post-77483497114518403232010-08-13T08:07:11.495-07:002010-08-13T08:07:11.495-07:00Thanks for your comment, Della.

...A great and thought-provoking collection, Jodie.<br /> I especially like the Arthur Polotnik quote: You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke.<br /> <br />I'm glad I can call on you to be my editor and to dissipate the smoke therein.<br />Della Barrett.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199796958293321265.post-49112376226602125482010-08-12T19:42:42.045-07:002010-08-12T19:42:42.045-07:00Thanks for checking in here, Helen.
