Quote of the Day

"Gird your word-swords, writers."

Today's quote of the day comes from Margaret Atwood.  It is technically the quote of yesterday, since this was part of Margaret's speech at the Whiting Awards last night.  Most excellent imagery, is it not?

Congratulations to all the Whiting Award winners, especially Adam Johnson, who (as well as running the Stanford Graphic Novel Project) writes wonderful strange and peculiar stories.
