Piboidmo Day 11 Marcus Ewert Says Seize The Dresses!

Dear fellow PiBoIdMoers: my brave and beautiful sisters & brothers! I’m going to keep this short andâ€"hopefully!â€"sweet. Several years ago, I was sitting in the far-too-messy front room of my apartment, glaring down at the notebook on my lap, pages blank as Antarctica. There was a very specific theme I was trying to writeâ€"NOT because it had been handed to me, gift-wrapped, by a Muse with ivory wings. No. This theme had arrived like a toddler with a pan and a wooden spoon: having plopped itself down on the kitchen floor, it was going to beat its makeshift drumâ€"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!â€"until it damn well felt like stopping. Furthermore, the theme had told meâ€"in no uncertain termsâ€"that it was going to be a picture book… and not a shoddy one, either. There would be a proper story arc, with a beginning, middle, and end; there would be believable characters, and it would all take place in an interesting setting. And the finished product had to appeal to actual children, not some fusty adult idea of same. Oh, and did I mention that the theme of the book was transgender identity? You know, something EASY. Total Berenstain Bears territory… So: me, blank page, glares. A pitiless, pot-banging toddler. A zillion different ideas and approaches in mind, all of them lame, all of them contradictory. CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Finally, using a tactic that I don’t recommend, I bullied myself into the job at hand: I took a stab at the first few paragraphs. What came out was the story of a girl coming to terms with the transition of her beloved uncle to a female identity. And it was TERRIBLE. Even as I wrote, I could picture the heavy, plodding illustrations that would accompany this heavy, plodding tale: ‘Here are a bunch of clunky, poorly-drawn children arriving at school! Now they’re hanging their coats up! Now they’re putting their lunch-bags away! Now it’s recess time, and the blocky kids hang off monkey bars! Now it’s carpool timeâ€"what a long line of station wagons!’ …I was starting to nod off, literally. But thenâ€"thank GODâ€"something else kicked in. It was like being shook by the shoulders. Some inner voice (a grown-up version of the toddler-with-the-pot?) had decided to be all frank and no-nonsense with me. And this is what it said: “Oh, Marcus, COME ON! Get real here! You don’t give a DAMN about this boring girl, her dreary uncle, or any of her ‘After-School Special’ life. NO. What you want to write aboutâ€"since you can write about ANYTHING IN THE WORLDâ€"is dresses. Magical dresses: a dress made of real gold; a dress made of CHOCOLATE!” At last, the real me was starting to participate. “What about a dress made of crystals?” I asked. “And whenever light hits it, it would flash rainbows, like a prism?” “Now you’re talking!” “Or a dress made out of FLOWERS?” I said. “Actual living flowers? The skirt would be roses, and, uh, lilies… and the sleeves could made out of honeysuckle vines! The little girl wearing the dress could pluck honeysuckles right off her sleeves, to taste the honey â€" just like I used to do, in Georgia!” “See? Now you’re bringing your own life into the story. That’s so much better…” “Or what about a dress made of windows?” I said, interrupting. “Magical windows that would show you things like the Great Wall of China, or the Pyramids?” And so on. You see? Everything had changed. Now my story had a spineâ€"a series of marvelous dressesâ€"and at last I had a character I actually cared about: the little girl who could dream up such luminous creations. And of course SHE would be the oneâ€"not some hazy uncleâ€"with the soul-deep knowledge of her own true gender, the one that didn’t line up with others’ expectations. And that’s how my book 10,000 Dresses came to be, and Bailey, its courageous heroine… My dear fellow PiBoIdMoers, my brave and beautiful sisters & brothers! Here are my two pieces of advice: Marcus Ewert wrote the children’s book 10,000 Dresses (Seven Stories Press, 2008; illustrations by Rex Ray). The first book of its kind, 10,000 Dresses has received wide critical acclaim, awards and honors from the

Great Lessons I Learned From My First Mentor

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Great Lessons I Learned From My First Mentor Have you watched the USA Network TV show Suits? Among many things, the show gives you ideas about mentoring in a law firm. When I saw the first episode, it reminded me of my first day in private practice in Roanoke, Virginia. Harvey Specter, the mentor in the show, looks, dresses (wearing three piece suits), and in some cases acts like my first mentor. In that first episode, Harvey advises new associate, Mike Ross, how to dress like a lawyer. I laughed when I saw it because that was my first lesson in private practice. When I arrived for my first day in July, 1976 I wore the only decent suit I owned. (I had spent four years in the USAF wearing a uniform). I can’t remember if I owned a long sleeve dress shirt. I think I arrived at the office wearing a short sleeve dress shirt, short socks and loafers. My mentor (we never used that term at the time) pulled me aside for my lesson in dressing like a lawyer. He advised me in fairly strong terms: I went home that first day and shared with Nancy what a true novice I was. I didn’t even know how to dress like a real lawyer, much less actually be one. Once I was at least dressing like a real lawyer, my first mentor gave me other nuggets of wisdom. I believe he said: It has been 35 years now. So, I am not 100% positive he said all eight things above. It is possible I said some of them when I mentored. Yet, I still remember our early morning conversations.  I became a better lawyer and actually dressed like a lawyer, because of the time my first mentor took to both give me tips and encourage me to dream big dreams. What did your first mentor teach you? Please share what you learned in comments.   I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
