So, I had a crazy-busy week this week and I have been exhausted. I get on that train every morning and every evening and fight to keep on hitting the keys on my laptop. Fighting through the fatigue, and trying desperately to tune-out the rude commuters all around me, talking on their cell phones and blasting their headphones.
I love writing and I am having a blast continuing Willow’s next chapter, but where to find the energy? Sometimes it’s even hard for me to tune out the noise in my own head that reminds me of all the stuff I have to get done that day at work. I’m so, so tired.
Today when I got home, I got a huge boost of energy. No, I’m not talking about caffeine. Your letters, your drawings, your designs your colors and most importantly your words, all moved me. It is I who thank you. A book is just a bunch of papers with letters on them unless someone reads it. There is no story being told, if there is no audience to tell it to. I wish I were there in person to tell you (my amazing audience) how much your support means to me. Your letters have inspired me so much and when I get on that train in the morning, I won’t hear any noise around me. I won’t be thinking about how tired I am. I’ll only feel the words you have written and it will give me all the energy I need to finish Willow’s next story, and the one after that, and the one after that. It has taken a class full of students to teach me so much.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Your friend forever

Visiting your class was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and whether Willow makes it big, or just plain flops, I will never forget my precious time with you all.
Have a fun and safe summer.
