AND, it looks like my cancer memoir, Tornado, will actually ALSO be coming out very VERY shortly, paired with a reissue of Perennial. Woot! So it’s just going to be ALL THE BOOKS, ALL THE TIME around here…

I really just have too much work at the moment — it’s a STUPID amount of work. I hate to say it, but in retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have run for school board, given how much of a time commitment it is to do it (at least the way I do it, with reading the

When I first thought about doing this, it felt a little silly, to spend 2.5 hrs on the train each way, just to have a one hour lunch meeting in NY. But then I remembered that I *love* working on the train — I love the landscape slipping past, the rhythm of the rumbling train

Worked on the screenplay for an hour this morning — I’m up to 9 pages, which sounds impressive, until you realize that’s only 9 minutes. I feel like I’ve barely gotten into the very beginning of the novel, though, which is making me wonder if this will actually translate to a feature film, or if
