This is an occasional journal about how my life affects my writing and my writing affects my life. This journal is not to be a classic blog, in other words it’s not interactive because I don’t want to have to moderate the thing. Nor do I expect to write in it every day.

However, if you read something here that you want to respond to, send me email (janeyolen@aol.com) and I will write back. Please say whether or not you agree to have your email quoted somewhere in “Telling the True.” I like getting questions from my readers–whether you are a writer or a book fancier, a teacher, librarian, or child.

Note that the order of the entries is most recent first. Entries from earlier days are archived.

Some favorites quotes:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”– Albert Einstein

“If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d type a little faster.”–Isaac Asimov
