On Writing: Kate DiCamillo.

Apparently, everything Kate DiCamillo writes makes me cry.  Even her writing advice.  (Just because it made me teary doesn't mean it'll have the same effect on you.  So if you're looking for a cry, you know, read some Nicholas Sparks or something.  But it struck a chord with me.)  

When she signed my books at ALA in Chicago a few years ago, I told her how I just sobbed and sobbed while I read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane.  She told me she cried while she wrote it.
