New year, old year, new books, new writing

Life has a way of usurping fiction, at least in 2020, but 2021 is continuing in the same vein.

“If you are a real writer, then just surrender to the writer's life, all of it, even the bad stuff. When you do that, the beauty appears: the peace, the meaning, the joy, the fulfillment, the sense that you are doing what you were born to do and what could be better, in the end, than that?”
Lauren B. Davis

“Writing, for me, makes the world shiver and flame with meaning.”
