"There are moments when everything's so sharp and bright it almost seems I cannot bear the pain and beauty of the world. But whenever I find myself thinking that way, I cross my fingers quick and take the wish back. Because if I wasn't sensitive, I would never have stumbled onto being a writer," wrote Norma Johnston in one of her most popular books (and her own personal favorite), The Keeping Days. To Johnston, the idea of "keeping days" is more than a book title; it is a concept that is important to her life and to every one of her many books. She explained what she means by a "keeping day" in her Something about the Author Autobiography Series (SAAS) entry: "None of us remembers our life just as a one-after-the-other series of events. What we remember are moments, some enormous, some small, in which everything comes together--moments which (in our conscious or unconscious) remain with us forever.
