"Empty space on the page, that absence of language, provides no clues. But it doesn’t communicate nothing — rather, it communicates *nothing*. It *speaks* void, it telegraphs mystery."

The word "text" has the root meaning of weaving, as in "textile." When we write, we weave--past, present. and future; formal and informal; story and argument; mixing genres and even media. Nothing is ever one thing.

@alienvsrobbins You're right . . . but I had to think about that for a minute.

@SHKrajewski I was taught that you need to use a comma, always, before the word "too" at the end of a sentence. This is simply not true.

@tjklune Will there be a sequel to Cerulean? I adore the characters and setting you've created.

@CarolJago Depends on whether you're teaching theme as statement or topic / abstract idea. I do the latter & emphasize that a theme cannot be touched (since it's a *concept*) and that it differs from main idea in that many stories can have the same theme but not the same MI.

@VScrivanoKelley @tjklune love this depiction💖
