Thank you, my friend. A long time coming? But never imagined, until now, when I seem to need this practice of dark-morning thinking desperately. Just followed you back!

It's so very nice to know you are near. Coffee, or tea. :)

The telling trail of writing by hand. The engagement of the body as a unified entity, resulting in a kinesthetic expression of life on the page. Thanks for the reminder of this thrill.

Yes. And the way I feel, in these early days of writing The Hush and the Howl. The thrill. Thank you, Charlotte.

Exquisite. I read this on Rona's recommendation in Notes. I'm so glad I did. As I read it I felt that Virginia Woolf had walked into the room, whispering calm.

I absolutely love looking at writer's drafts. It tells its own story. I can't imagine what craziness will be seen by others in my notebooks with all of their cross outs, arrows, and notes.
