Stop your horses. Never entertained this idea before. Now I have it. My Uncle Scott and Aunt Norman (Normie to us kids) bought a victorian hotel on the Snake River. My sister and I spent the night there, inside a separate bedroom from our aunt and uncle. We sat alert. Felt terror at each creak and snap as the aged wood settled into a chilly night. Scariest movie of my life. (less)

Those pages invite a stream of consciousness mode so I write them fast. Writing fast does not come easy as I wrestled with dyslexia. I wanted to read in grammar school, learning became a huge effort. I love to read and know that looking up words adds to my vocabulary, so reading helps write. (less)

Deborah Taylor-French is 30% done with The Rescue Artist: “All the other paintings that make up The Frieze of Life are painted in oil on canvas. The Scream combines tempera, in essence poster paint, with pastel and chalk, and is painted not on canvas but on a sheet of ordinary, untreated cardboard.”
