Day 29

It is time to write a love-letter to an author. If you write to more than one, keep it to 3 or so, and make your words count—mini-essay time!

Dear Diana Wynne Jones,

Thank you for writing what seems like whatever you feel like. I'm sure this isn't true--I'm a writer, I know a bit about how it goes.
But I love the way you've taken huge weird ideas and made them feel so common-sense in your story that it feels like only certain impossible things are possible in the book we're reading but that that anything is possible to form a world in any given book.

I haven't liked all of your books, but the ones I've loved have more than made up for it in the passions that they have formed.

I wish you weren't going so soon, but thank you for leaving your books, instead of keeping your wild ideas to yourself. It must have been very brave of you to start doing it when you started. And I know some of my favorite authors who you inspired, and I'm also grateful for them.

Much love,

Bethany
