“In order to write, first you have to have lived…you need to readandreadandreadandread to learn as many different ways of using language as possible. You also need to read in order to build inside your head a massive bank of lusciously different words that you can choose from at any time.” Mem Fox

Thanks Mem!

I’m taking Mem’s advice…which means I’m not sure how much I’ll be blogging over the next couple of weeks, as I’ll definitely be readingandreadingandreadingandreading!

Maybe I’ll even chat about what I’m reading…the only catch is that I’m going to be reading children’s books.

Yay, it’s going to be as sweet as a cupcake, living in a child’s wonderland of books for a while!
