Hi friends. I took a walk with my friend Katy this weekend. We hadn’t seen each other in a while so it ended up being a long walk. The day was sunny and clear, the color of the sky muted a bit in the new light of the season. It was chilly when we started, and warm by the end.
I'm just getting to this, after a week of ignoring my novel because I fell into a giant plothole. and sat there in a huff. I think I solved it now. We'll see. But I love the story of sending your character to Chicago, of looking--and finding--just the right thing for 1985. My favorite Yogi Berra quote is, you can see a lot just by looking. Thanks for the reminder that you can't write a book by just ignoring it. PS: I'm 67; every decade has been better than the one before; wishing that for you, too..
You have a knack for showing up in my inbox when I could most use a dose of Craft Talks. This was a lovely way to dive into edits, thank you for writing and sharing.

I hope your birthday made you feel special and very happy. You are special and you deserve happiness. Cheers to your new decade!
Happy belated! Hope it's a great year.
Thank you for this perfect start to my Monday morning.
