Thanks to You, and You, and You

Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. Besides the food, and the fun, and the truly-becoming-winter weather, what I love most about Thanksgiving is taking the time to think about all the things I’m thankful for, and offering up some heartfelt gratitude for it. I try to say thanks every single day, but there’s something terrific about having a whole holiday built around it.

So today, on the eve of Thanksgiving, I want to say thanks to you. Thanks for reading my books, and thinking about them, sharing your thoughts with me or with someone else. Thanks for having me at your school or in your library, asking me questions, and being curious about my writing life. Thank you, most of all, for giving me the opportunity to continue to practice one of my very favorite things in the world: trying to articulate this beautiful human experience in one of its highest art forms, writing.

Thank you. So much. And happy Thanksgiving.
