An Oscar Night Quote

Offering this one today, with an alternative:

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” – Madeleine L’Engle

or my version

You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for the movies.” – Meg Waite Clayton

Tongue in cheek, or course. I hope you enjoy the Oscars tonight, if you’re watching. I’m rooting for “Hidden Figures,” an extraordinary film about some extraordinarily smart women!
