Had the pleasure of going to Powell’s bookstore to hear Margot Leitman talk about her new book “Long Story Short”! Oh-man-oh-man I love living 10 minutes away from Powell’s and getting to go hear authors speak!  I drew Margot in my sketchbook as she talked.  The quotes are what I think I heard her say as she said it so any mistakes are mine all mine. And she was more fun that the quotes imply.  Margot Leitman was witty and encouraging to all of us wanna-be story-teller writer creative types! I got a copy of her book (signed too!) and have already read most of it! Good stuff! And it’s got illustrations! Here’s her website http://www.margotleitman.com/
