Something I am wondering: if you cannot hear do you have no sounds in your head? Do you see a silent movie
Sharon CreechI wondered about Mrs. Winterbottom and what she meant about living a tiny life. If she didn't like all that baking and cleaning and jumping up to get bottles of nail polish remover and sewing hems, why did she do it? Why didn't she tell them to do some of the things themselves? Maybe she was afraid there would be nothing left for her to do. There would be no need for her and she would become invisible and no one would notice.
Sharon CreechYou know, maybe that's all anybody wants, is to be useful. And have somebody else notice it.
Sharon CreechDonโt be in too much of a rush to be published. There is enormous value in listening and reading and writingโand then putting your words away for weeks or monthsโand then returning to your work to polish it some more.
Sharon CreechRelationships with parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings were important to me when I was young and have remained so throughout my life. Our relationships with other people both shape and reflect who we are. These relationships are infinitely fascinating to explore!
Sharon CreechBeing a mother is like trying to hold a wolf by the ears,โ Gram said. โIf you have three or four โor more โ chickabiddies, youโre dancing on a hot griddle all the time. You donโt have time to think about anything else. And if youโve only got one or two, itโs almost harder. You have room left over โ empty spaces that you think youโve got to fill up.
