Over on Neil Fein’s Magnificent Nose, I have a post up about reading like a writer, including the tragic tale of how I lost my magical reading powers and what I got in exchange.
Thanks!

What I’m reading
awesome writing! Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks! Same to you!
Good morning Julie, I have you on my wordpress feed. Anyway, we currently have a “jazz singer/ writer staying w/ us in our B and b suite for the summer and I thought of you as I reread your “about” section of your blog.. Wife and I have been enjoying many and varied conversations around the dinner table on writing, current events, the meaning of life, what makes for good coffee, and a whole lot more. I’m guessing you’d enjoy the bantering as well. DM
I am pro-banter!
