"You really have to love words if you're going to be a writer, because, as a writer, you certainly spend a lot of time with words. A suggestion for someone who wants to start writing? Be a reader. It's the only real way to learn how to tell a story. Readers are lucky -- they will never be bored or lonely." -- Natalie Babbitt
