Reinventing Language Every Time You Write: A Podcast with Ralph Fletcher - 0 views

  • I think that the idea of a notebook to sort of share your deep feelings can sometimes be a little hard sell for boys, but I'm having pretty good luck selling the notebook to boys as a place to collect stuff, because boys are collectors.
  • For example, a friend of mine was saying that she had this moment with her grandfather, and they were just outside and it was a beautiful moment, the stars were twinkling, and she said to me it was a "snowball moment." And so I said to her, "What do you mean by that?" and she said, "You know, it was perfect. Like you'd have those snowballs in the glass, and it's just this perfect contained moment." I love that idea, like a snowball moment, and I started saying to myself, "I wonder if I've had snowball moments," or how I could play with that idea in another context. So I think the notebook could be a place for that.
