Thirty Word Thursday

(first off, happy birthday to my baby! My little Ryanna turns 5 today :) Such a big girl now!)

"The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time...You can always do it better, find the exact word, the apt phrase, the leaping simile."

    Oh, love Robert Cormier. Used to read the Chocolate War with my students way back when I was at Lexington School for the Deaf.

    Happy Birthday, Ryanna!

    Truer words were never written. Although it's much less of a headache if you get it right the first time :).
