I came to this conclusion a few months ago. While working on a story, and when I’m alone, I often speak the dialogue out loud, giving voice to all the characters involved in the conversation.

Writing Tip — Poem in Your Pocket Day
Poem in Your Pocket Day is a day to celebrate poetry, created by the Academy of American Poets. It’s a day to share a favorite poem that you carry with you. I’m using my blog as my virtual pocket and will share one of my favorite Psalms.
Psalm 121:1:
“I lift my eyes to the hill — where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

This quote is from the story “The Mountain”. Third graders Pat and Crazy Eddie are getting a bad case of spring fever and decide to enjoy April by climbing a mountain close to their homes in Idaho.
Pat explains that the mountain would call to him.
“Pat! Pat! Come climb me! It will be fun! And I won’t try to kill you, as I do some folks!”
On an April Saturday at the age of eight, I learned that mountains don’t always tell the truth.
Do you have a favorite quote or though about spring?
