jumping in



Sometimes I have to just jump in. If I stop at the shoreline on the coast of Maine and put my toe in the water, I am forever frozen there.There is really no reason anyone will see this until I tell them that I am blogging and by then, maybe I will have the hang of it. I have started three or four templates over the past few years -- but I was just putting my toe in the water and didn't get very far.

I am reading Tea Obreht's The Tiger's Wife- which is everything a novel should be. Go get it and start it immediately!

- from publishers weekly: "The sometimes crushing power of myth, story, and memory is explored in the brilliant debut of Obreht." -from booklist: "...this gripping novel of legends and loss in a broken land."
