I love learning about authors and seeing how their work relates to the things we do in classrooms.

I think I have all the songs from the original cartoon movie version memorized, but my fondness for the movie is no match for my fondness for the book. Autobiographies of young adult writers are some of my favorite reads. I suppose maybe I'll have to try out a biography now too...Christy Rush-Levinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581876400990779210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-89514941683975842962011-10-18T17:00:58.238-06:002011-10-18T17:00:58.238-06:00I have this book on my to be read list--I will def...I have this book on my to be read list--I will definitely have to move it up!Deb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-30649670067094045382011-10-18T16:09:17.466-06:002011-10-18T16:09:17.466-06:00I LOVE the quotation “remember that writing is tra...I LOVE the quotation “remember that writing is translation, and the opus to be translated is yourself.” Thanks for including that! I also love how you noted White's lengthy writing process -- the idea of taking off a year after it was finished to look at it with fresh eyes is incredible! Sounds like a really interesting book!JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-57122268446903183792011-10-18T11:54:25.406-06:002011-10-18T11:54:25.406-06:00I'm inspired to read this biography and take E...I'm inspired to read this biography and take E.B. White's advice on writing. I get caught up in trying to write the best book ever rather than writing at my best. Thank you for the thoughts.
