But one thing that one of the authors said has stuck in my mind.
We already have everything we need to be writers.
It's inside each and every one of us. We don't need classes or degrees or even connections. We don't need computers, fancy software or a dsl line. All we need is an idea, and the determination to capture that idea with words. Sure, the other stuff might help. A lot. But when you come right down to it, writers are people who write.
Awesome.
And now, the winner of Sarah Dessen's The Truth About Forever is:
Congratulations, Jackee!! Email me your snail mail address and I'll send this off to you.
And the winner of the ARC of Crossing Over by Anna Kendall is:
Congratulations, Becky!! Email me your snail mail address and I'll send you your book.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I like that quote!
Congrats to the winners! And that would be so cool to go to a writer's workshop for kids!
Great quote. And Yay!! Sending you my snail mail!
Yep, I think imagination & empathy are the two most important factors in writing, and we are all born with both of them in fairly high quantities. The key is not to lose them as we spend more and more time in "the real world"!
Amen!
So true!
And I like your slot machine to pick the winners! Cool!
I love that quote! Congrats to the winners!
Writers are people who write. Yes!!
Congrats to Jackee and Becky! ;-)
I agree! Also your name picker makes me want to go gamble. Come on, three sevens!
Yep! Good thing to keep in mind.
Congrats to the winners!
Happy weekend!
That was one of my favorite quotes, too. Congrats. to the winners. I have more books to add to your TBR pile, BTW. :)
hi miss sherrie! hooray for the jackpot winners! i got wondering one time for writers in olden day they didnt have all the stuff we got like computers and cps and editors. mostly they just had a idea and wrote it. so that just like what you said. i wonder if writers now could write stuff just only with a idea and a pen and paper. i hope you have a real nice weekend.
...hugs from lenny
Great quote! Congratulations to the winners. (I love the slot machine!)

Love that quote and what a cool conference--kids need more of that. Congrats on your WIP count!
