Let Us Now Praise Great Gals

I finished Noria Jablonski's book, Human Oddities, on Thursday. It has revved up my craving for shorter fiction, a craving that has been dormant for a long time. I am re-reading Dan Chaon's fine collection, and next up I might delve into Mary Gaitskill. Jablonski's work also made me (SHHHH! DON'T TELL!) write my first COMPLETED short story in a long time.

I've been weathering a couple hard things happening on the family front, but yesterday I woke up grateful for coffee, and my funny cats, and my hunky groom, and the ability to create and draw and read books. Graham and I took a long walk in Central Park, and I realized it's been a LONG time since I just ambled. Sometimes physical activity can change EVERYTHING. What a relief!

This is the last week to order one of my Great Gals Calendars for before Christmas Delivery. The shop will be closed as of 5pm EDT on Monday, December 18!
