Last night, watching the movie Nine, these words: To create is to forgive yourself in public.
You could teach an entire course on that, I thought.

I was at the dance studio today when word came in that House of Dance was named a 2009 Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book.
I am, of course, entirely grateful. House joins books written by some of my literary heroes and heroines—Sharon Creech, Jane Yolen, Louise Erdrich, Avi, Neil Gaiman, and Mary Engelbreit, among others.
New: I close the day with these words from dear Priya, about Undercover.
Yesterday, while walking down the street, I heard the golden-voiced Devon Horse Show emcee introducing a Floridian horse named Undercover. I stood and waited as Undercover jumped a clean, high-gated round, a good-luck omen, I thought. Today Jill Santopolo writes to tell me that my own Undercover paperback has officially launched as of this hour. "I hope you celebrate," she said.
An hour later the mail brought a package from Jill containing the hardback of Nothing but Ghosts. It was the first I'd seen this book in its final form— a reminder of how much better the hardback is than the ARCs released months ago. Nuances matter in the books that I write, and they matter particularly in Ghosts.
How does one celebrate the release of two books? I can only think of one way. By plucking peonies from my garden and arranging a photo shoot, and by sharing the news with the intrepid souls who so graciously gather here.
