ABSTRACT
Children need to know that as writers, we run our hands over and over and over the bumpy fabric of our work…. And so, in share sessions—and in minilessons, conferences, and alone at the desk—we look back at the trail of our thinking in order to see what we have said, to hear tunes and rhythms in our language, to feel the power of an idea, to see how one insight links with another and another and another, to gather momentum for more writing, to notice, to be surprised, to marvel, to listen.
