Too much to do

Gotta keep it short. Still reading Writing Tips. Love it. Also reading Pushcart Prizes 2009. I'm planning to go hear Kate Brady read (if she does) at her book release party. I love her work. Her book is called The Mechanics of Falling. I lost my cell phone today and a pair of shoes last week and a workout jacket (that I recovered). So I lost three things...my run of bad luck is over. I had three financial disasters: the pipe to our main water line broke, the car needed a new catalytic converter, and our daughter needed new tires. So that's over. My mom says they only come in threes. Oh and she says, "Don't swim in the river!" Love it.

Jane at the Writing Salon is planning a class for me to teach--once a month on a Friday night for six months. This is for people who mainly want to workshop their work. Check it out on her website soon. I'm still planning to teach the Fiction class once a week. BUSY!

I hear lots of people are getting published out there. That's good news in all this doom and gloom atmosphere. It's weird. We (my family) have always been economical and careful with money (sort of) and our income is the same, we still have our house, but we still feel like we should be more careful. It's a strange time. Well, my husband did lose a bunch on his 401 K. Oh yeah, he lost his wallet this week, too. I hope nobody tries to identity theft him!!!!

The writing life feels crammed full right now and not much time for advice. I'm having the class read stories to look for two stories in one.

Tired because of the time change and my dogs are hogging the bed. Sorry, gotta go. I'll write more when I have something to say.

Hey Jamey, I came to your blog from your FlatmanCrooked comment on Part 2 of the MFA series. Then I saw you had published in the Farallon Review and remembered your story, which I had enjoyed very much.

(FWIW I bought my copy directly from Lynka outside Amnesia in the Mission.)

Anyway, I felt compelled to comment also on the MFA article, which is interesting but too brief!

Best --AD
