BLOG TITLE
I initially tried to use the entire quote as my blog title, but it was truly too long. Therefore, I have included it in this post so you will not be left wondering as to how I achieved such literary excellence. I did not. Ray Bradbury did.
"You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you."
And while I have never been drunk on alcohol, I have been on drink on writing. I have written from the dark of night until the room lightened with rays of the rising sun. I have been buzzed with characters achieving their own voices, with scenes manifesting themselves before my eyes. I have not prayed to the porcelain god because of the written word as of yet, and hope to avoid such supplication. Although winning a Newbery or Caldecott Medal may very well do it.
