she's so awesome
I was looking for the name of a Madeleine L'Engle book I loved when I was thirteen, and instead I found a great interview with her. She's so awesome.
The book, by the way, was called And Both Were Young. For YA fiction it was memorable enough that sixteen years later, my brain can still clearly remember certain scenes. And like many kids of my generation, A Wrinkle in Time was the first science fiction book I ever read, and it was the one that opened the door to those worlds within worlds.
Pondering: In writing, it's okay to be afraid. It's not okay to be timid. There's a stark difference between feeling the fear and acknowledging it, and letting it crush you underfoot and stop your forward momentum.
Just sayin.
