'Limits of my language are limits of/in my world'.

Writers Notebook
- When writing start with a true story, then add lies
- Kids need time to write
- Incubate ideas - private place to store things, triggers, snatches of talk, lists, artifactes
- Boys are real collectors
- Rereading the notebook - high comfort, no risk
- Engaging boy writers - Girls often play the game where boys wont. Boys will write for each other
- Boys like fantasy and violence
- Girls will draw nouns - boys will draw verbs
