WRITING It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything to post here. Since the beginning of April, one post on how I was gong to start Script Frenzy (which I didn’t), and one mini saga (50 words). I’ve started bits and pieces throughout the month, but nothing sustainable. Leave it to Twitter to give me the kick in the pants I needed to start writing and not stop—no matter what came out. Enter @10MinuteWriter. With just a quick suggestion, a handful of folks on Twitter were having an #amwriting party. So here I am, writing. READING In February and March, I felt I’d really hit my stride. I was reading nearly a book a week, and that left me with plenty to write about. And the beginning of April felt like a good start. Easter weekend meant a ride down to North Carolina. A Carolinian weekend meant a Saturday morning visit to Davidson. A Saturday morning visit to Davidson meant a walk through the local bookshop, a friendly elderly proprietress, and a recommendation to read The Art of Racing in the Rain. I’ve been meaning to write about that bookstore all month.
