"Writing is seeing. It is paying attention." --Kate DiCamillo (1964- ) In her essay “On Writing” https://www.katedicamillo.com/on_writing-2/ #writerslift #life #authors #love #art #coffee #diary #write #books #amwriting #quotes #katedicamillo Kate DiCamillo’s simple line captures a truth at the heart of great storytelling. For her, writing isn’t just about clever words or clever plots, it begins with observation. The writer must first notice the world: the way a cat pauses at a doorway, the light on a rainy sidewalk, the hesitation in someone’s voice. That careful attention fills the writer’s imagination with material that feels real to the reader. DiCamillo learned this early, when a teacher praised an essay not for its technique but for how well she saw and described her subject. Since then, she’s emphasized that paying attention, not rushing past details, people, and moments, is essential not just to writing, but to understanding life itself. When we see closely, we discover the small truths that make stories matter and make connections stick with us long after the last page is turned.

Day 3 of Exercising my Circle of Control. (Fun Day) I read this fabulous book The Beatryce Prophecy by Kate DiCamillo. It is about love and found family. It is about taking back power from men who act like kings. It made me feel a little less alone.

Top read aloud this week was the second Norendy Tale from #katedicamillo
DiCamillo is the master of engagement, and as the little girl begs for another story, my own children begged me to keep reading as well. Touching aspects of family, love, and connection are a win as well. #hotelbalzaar #kidlit
