C is for Crazy

This is one of my very favorites...


Oh that, Patricia Lee Gauch, how I love her. 


I hear her voice in my head all the time saying, "*Go crazy!" That woman is One Crazy Brilliant Chickadee. And I learned loads and loads from her at Chautauqua. She totally got what I was trying to do with my book.  She encouraged me. She laughed at my writing....in all the right places. She told me I was funny. She pointed out my strengths and helped me see my weaknesses.

And as if all of that weren't enough...she compared my writing to Roald Dahl.  Yep, that seals it. I will love her forever.  

If you ever get a chance to hear her speak, get yourself a seat!


*I know. I'm talking about this fabulous woman again. And I'm sure it won't be the last.

  4. Love this quote. Makes me feel better about my state of mind ;). And, um, Roald Dahl? What a compliment! Which begs another question: when do we get to read it?!?

  5. I don't know if I could write a good and original book, but I think I have the "crazy" part down. :o)
    Patti sounds like a great mentor. Great job in the A-Z challenge so far!

  8. Oh, it's quite true. All the greats are at LEAST a little crazy. I've yet to meet a great who wasn't.
