Writer's Psalm By Noelle Sterne
The Word is my shepherd. I shall not block. He maketh me to write down on blank pages. He leadeth me beside my still journals. He restoreth my flow. He leadeth me in the paths of fine metaphors for my name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Trite, I will fear no revisions. For Thou art with me; Thy cutting and pasting they comfort me. Thou preparest a desktop before me in the presence of mine editors. Thou anointest my head with ideas; my files runneth over. Surely good checks and assignments shall follow me all the drafts of my life. And I will dwell in the Book of the Word forever. Note: Published in New England Writer’s Network, Autumn, 2001, vol. 8 no. 2, p. 6, with editor’s comment on p. 20. Published in Once Upon A Time . . . , Quarter, 2003.

Her children's book, Tyrannosaurus Wrecks: A Book of Dinosaur Riddles (HarperCollins) was in print for 18 years and featured in the first dinosaur show of the PBS television children's series "Reading Rainbow."
