Writing

Thinking Quotes by Jacqueline Woodson

Because I write realistic fiction, I generally don’t think about fixing anyone – I just think about how I want to feel at the end of the book – And I try to write toward that feeling.

I actually don’t think of whiteness and heterosexuality as ‘the norm’. Maybe there are people who still do but none of them are close friends of mine.

I couldnt be a writer without hope. I think I became a writer because Im pretty optimistic.

I love slow readers. And readers who think about what I’ve written, think about how it’s written – and copy me!

I think boys don’t always like to read books with female protagonist – I don’t even know what to say about this.

I think I had gotten messages really young that poetry wasn’t for me, that it was for, basically, some dead white men. My experience and my intellect was on the outside of understanding that. I think that’s what’s so destructive.

I think I’d rather have my heart broke than do the breaking. —Lena

I think it’s important to remember that writing is a gift and our stories are gifts to ourselves and to the world and sometimes giving isn’t always the easiest thing to do but it comes back.

I think only once in your life do you find someone that you say, “Hey, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my time on this earth with.” And if you miss it, or walk away from it, or even maybe, blink – it’s gone.
