Directions to the Palace: Seek out Giacometti’s “The Palace at 4 a.m.” Go back precisely two hours. See towers and curtain walls of matchsticks, marble, marbles, light, cloud at stasis. Walk in. The beggar queen is dreaming on her throne of words… Welcome. You have arrived at the web home of Marly Youmans, maker of novels, poetry collections, and stories, as well as the occasional fantasy for younger readers.
I'm trying Twittering. Just signed up and already Corey Mesler has found me. How is that possible?
Movie moment Harry Potter: We have something worth fighting for, something that Voldemort doesn't have. N, age 12, under his breath: Girls.

I confess: I am on twitter and don't understand what I am supposed to do there. I only respond whenever I get an email saying someone is "following me," a phrase that feeds into my paranoia. And I never get anything else from the site. I don't know what my updates do since no one ever responds to them.
I love the twittering of birds but have not started because it confuses me. And is too brief. But just about everyone I know is suddenly signing on, very strange.
Oh, if everybody is signing on, it is no doubt too late. But I'm going to try it for a week and see. Curiosity.
Robinka,
I am so far behind that I may as well shrug and do what I like. Except for the top thirty things on the To Do list. Those must be done.
jarvenpa,
Yes, I like that twittering too. We've had lots of orioles this year. And a nest over the front door--abandoned because of too much banging of the outer door by children. But jolly to see nevertheless.

This is not to say that I am not magic for I am.

Hah! Following, yes! I knew it. It's a de Chirico thing.
Yes, I am as well. My children noticed that right away.
I haven't tried twitter, Marly. I figure I already can't keep up with enough things.

Sounds lovely, Marly.
