The note about keeping a photo of our beloved when a child--LOVE that! And our own inner young one. And to let that compassion stretch to characters and readers... all so good, thank you!
I always love your letters ... each one seems like something I need to hear and this one especially (as I start a big project) hit home. Loving your reader enough to let her do the math ... that roots for her becoming. Thank you!

Thanks so much, Alison! Can't have too much compassion :)

As always, you deliver. Thanks for the generosity of your words, Stephanie.

This was just wonderful! I always look forward to your newsletters. You give such sound advice to writers!
"Write in a way that roots for your reader’s becoming." - writing this on an index card to tape above my desk. YES.
Well said, yes :)
