Am trying to get into the spirit of the Great Cold, but it's not working so far. I seem colder than ever this year. Just turned up the heat, as it had fallen down to 60. Brrr.

Wish your book all success - can't wait to get it when it is available up north!<br /><br />Sorry to hear about the wintry weather in your part of the world! After some rather early stormy rains and high winds, we've been enjoying clear sunny days and frosty nights. Soon we'll be back to rain though.

I stayed there for six weeks in '07 and wrote the draft of a book that's coming out next year. (It really precedes Glimmerglass, but I held on to it longer.) Not planning to do that sort of thing again while I have children at home.<br /><br />Thanks!

As a northerner transplanted to the Redneck Riviera (where the local idea of "culture" includes crawfish eating contests and mullet-tosses across the state line), I am envious of so many opportunities in your neck of the woods. Tell me, do you live near Yaddo? Is it still a viable "enterprise"? Have you ever considered being a writer-in-residence there? Now, with all of R.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13220814349193561823noreply@blogger.com
