Jacqueline Woodson Quotes
You're Writing, You're Coasting, And You're Thinking, 'This Is The Best Thing I've Ever Written, And It's Coming So Easily, And These Characters Are So Great.' You Put It Aside For Whatever Reason, And You Open It Up A Week Later And The Characters Have Turned To Cardboard And The Book Has Completely Fallen Apart," She Says. "That's The Moment Of Truth For Every Writer: Can I Go On From Here And Make This Book Into Something? I Think It Separates The Writers From The Nonwriters. And I Think It's The Reason A Lot Of People Have That Unfinished Manuscript Around The House, That Albatross.
