A Note From Meg Hutchinson

I've heard it said that we become writers not because words come easily to us, but because we are always struggling to find the right words. I know this to be true in my own life. Every day I'm struck by something that leaves me speechless. Usually it's something very simple, very ordinary. Maybe it's the way the light falls across the trail at Houghton's pond in the late afternoon. Or the sound the geese make as they look for their nest after the heavy rain. Or maybe it's the look on the child’s face as she lets go of her balloon, that split second when she realizes it's gone... What does that remind me of? Of all the possible words, in every possible combination, what are the right ones for that moment? What are the words that have never been used before to describe something we all know? That’s what I’m after.
