Literary Birthday – 15 April – Sallie Tisdale

Happy Birthday, Sallie Tisdale, born 15 April 1957.

Quotes

1. What’s the secret? You don’t write. You just get out of the way.
2. It is our peculiar punishment that we know things change and we want this to be otherwise.
3. To write the essay is to be haunted by our own lies. No story is the whole story. Everything we know is shadowed by what we’ve missed, forgotten, or been afraid to see.
4. How I became a better writer was that I kept writing.
