Yes, Richard. I might add, if you have teachers in the past who've made a difference in your writing or writerly journey, thank them in your acknowledgement to your "big" book.
So true, Richard. I met a 13-year-old neighbor yesterday who expressed interest in writing. I gave her my card and asked her to send me something. She writes nonfiction. A future journalist, I asked? No. Architect. I soaked in a little of her youthful spirit and energy and am better for it. Thanks for this moving post.
