Hi, Carole. I also miss the book events and seeing you and other local writers.
Grapevines usually speak the truth.
I'm looking forward to more Midwives. Hurry up.
I have Book #3 manuscript still sitting on my desk, not nearly done. (Almost two years). I have written some poems tho and am getting ready to publish a small book.
Stay well, Friend.

When I was in high school a man we called Uncle Harry frequently visited our house. He was not in our family, not a real uncle. I knew nothing about him, except that he sold storm windows as my dad did. Many times I found him having coffee while my mom worked in the kitchen. Nothing was going on between them I'm sure. I don't know if he was waiting for my dad, or just killing time. A few years later he just disappeared. I never asked about him.
I could make up a story about where he came from and went to, how he desrupted our family and my life, but I won't, and he didn't.

Made a dent in my summer TBR pile already with Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend," book one of her Neapolitan Novels series. Looking forward to the others.
Finally got to "Lacy Eye" by Jessica Treadway, so her "How Will I Know You?" quickly got on my list.
Enjoyed Melissa Bowersock's "Ghost Walk," and added book 2 in her new series, "Stone's Ghost" to my TBR.
Others of which I am deciding which to get to first are:
"Why is the Foul Pole Fair" by Vince Staten," a must read for baseball fans. I know because I have started it.
"The Guest Room" by Chris Bohjalian, because it is by Chris Bohjalian.
"Blood Red Homicide" by Gail Baugniet. (I'm a Pepper Bibeau fan)
Going to plow through some more of David Foster Wallace in my copy of "The DFW Reader."
Will re-read Eckhart Tolle's "Power Of Now" and "A New Earth." Because they helped me the first and second times.

Once I start a project the difficult part is arranging my notes from various places. I collect a great amount of notations, which may be just a word, a phrase, or a whole page, or a draft of a scene. The ideas may come from my head, research, or observations. They end up in notebooks, manila folders, computer files or bookmarks. Some are sorted for a certain character, time, or topic. I sometimes look through the information, but when actually writing many somehow find their way into the story. So, I guess the time spent sorting and organizing is worth it.
