09/09/2006: "Fall Is Just Around the Corner"
I'm almost finished with THE BEST PLACE TO BE! One more read through for small changes and it's on its way. One of the best feelings is to finish a manuscript and be proud of it--and I am.
Janet Fitch has a new book out, PAINT IT BLACK. It's a starred review in P.W. I ordered it this afternoon after I read an interview about her writing life. She comments about writers "knowing" things: "How can we imagine something that turns out to be true? How can we know things we couldn't possibly know? It makes me wonder about the existence of collective unconscious...we are all connected. Perhaps that's why we can move into others' lives." I think most writers would believe this statement. How do we know what we know? I've written ideas without researching, then gone back and done the "backward" research and found out that I guessed right! That is a a very weird feeling.
But then again, life is sometimes very strange.
Till next time.
