"Once you know something [about yourself], you can't un-know it. And you feel alone. But sometimes you read a book - and then you don't feel alone." Thank you @BenjaminAlireSa for your visit today @highlandsr_spps AND for writing Aristotle and Dante. #ReadBrave @stpaullibrary

The stories that we tell each other, that is art. Just as much as books. @djolder #readbrave @stpaullibrary

[Marika Staloch @LibraryMarika]

If you can't conceive of yourself as a protagonist, you're going to be passive, and just do what you're told. #readbrave @djolder

[Marika Staloch @LibraryMarika]

You make the path by walking the path. Trying to walk someone else's path is destructive. #readbrave

[Marika Staloch @LibraryMarika]

What part of your neighborhood are you showing? What are you leaving out? You're responsible for that as an author. @djolder #readbrave

50 minutes in and there are still 10+ teen hands in the air with good, deep questions. I love #readbrave. @djolder @stpaullibrary

[Marika Staloch @LibraryMarika]

Ask yourself, are you writing [character] to protect yourself, or are you writing to project something? @djolder @stpaullibrary #readbrave

[Marika Staloch @LibraryMarika]
