Enter the writing process with a childlike sense of wonder and discovery. Let it surprise you.
Close your eyes and look inside, A mirror shines within; To find where you are going, First see where you have been.
Don't search for inspiration when you have a task to do; Just start your work and you will see that it will soon find you.
A poem is a spider web Spun with words of wonder, Woven lace held in place By whispers made of thunder.
When you write for children, don't write for children. Write from the child in you.
The path to inspiration starts upon the trails we've known; each stumbling block is not a rock, but just a stepping stone.
Get yourself a notebook and write in it EVERY night for two weeks. Then stop if you can. If you can't, you're a writer.
The greatest reward for a children's author is in knowing that our efforts might stir the minds and hearts of young readers with a vision and wonder of the world and themselves that may be new to them or reveal something already familiar in new and enlightening ways.
Do not let fear confine your life Inside a shell of doubt; A turtle never moves until His head is sticking out.
I write poems for children to help them celebrate the joy and wonder of their world and to look at their lives from the inside out. I write humorous poems to tickle the funny bone of their imaginations.
STYLE IS NOT HOW YOU WRITE IT IS HOW YOUDO NOT WRITE LIKE ANYONE ELSE
They say that love is always blind and that explains so much, young lovers always seem so prone to use their sense of touch.
