One example: in an earlier draft of "Seed Speech" I wrote, "There are no stupid ideas." Elaine shot back: "Yes there are!

And I'm not bemoaning the lack of snow, but somehow it seems to have made the months fly even faster, and I feel so far behind with reading. <br /><br />enough rambling complaints. Thanks for posting about these books, Elaine!Jeannine Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886966069866356470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-47734896429442498072012-02-24T14:04:41.346-05:002012-02-24T14:04:41.346-05:00Wow, Elaine, this looks wonderful.

I will be sure to send your post to our staff to see if anyone would like it, plus the link you gave, and will certainly try to get the library to purchase it. I might purchase the biography. I have several & have used them often as mentor texts for writing.
