We always saved our Friday speaker spot for an author, illustrator, poet, or other kind of creator. We could not have been more inspired by Judy's presence. She was so completely amazing that all 60 participants were a) completely in love with her humanity and b) ready to go forth and write, create, and share that ineffable spirit with their own writing students. She sat for HOURS signing copies of her books, all with individual notes and illustrations. She shines forth with love. It was a privilege to meet and speak with her!Elfarranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939487366519102766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-55473144501885561392013-08-24T11:59:38.987-07:002013-08-24T11:59:38.987-07:00Beth: You have beautifully articulated what I have...Beth: You have beautifully articulated what I have known to be true about J. Byron Schachner for over 30 years, but have been unable to tell her so precisely: "One of the most humble, gracious, generous people you'll ever find, anywhere...one of those human beings who elevates the world, glistens it, makes birdsong rise out of pie..." Plus she is hysterically funny and a creative genius. And very wise.KFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438237184719475988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-8846587612172512502013-08-24T08:03:55.818-07:002013-08-24T08:03:55.818-07:00I just HAVE to get my hands on that book - it soun...I just HAVE to get my hands on that book - it sounds glorious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
