I just sent an email to someone who many years ago was instrumental in setting my career in motion. In my email was a link to an amazing review I have today, and, as self-promotion shy as I am, well....too bad.
Here it is: http://headbutler.com/ Jesse Kornbluth now joins the list of some very lovely people moving me along a path, I reluctantly tread.
The "many years ago" person set me up when I was still playing and experimenting and mostly having fun with the discovery I could write. I was like a child who just learned to crawl. I wanted to go into every corner, every dark closet--not necessarily while in the public eye.
Today, I'm different. That doesn't mean I'm no longer shielded in reluctance and shyness. It does mean, I'm more able to push past it -- hence, this blog.
I wanted to blog today about a "contract" my friend Sheila and I signed on the beach the other day. Actually, it was more like a menu; we each agreed to write a frivolous novel this summer (as if it is as easy as it appears...definitely not). The point: to take a break from the serious subject matters we usually delve into. But this venture will have to wait...
Today, I bask in my "fame", even the reviewer's profound words, "adulthood seems to elude her."
