Just checking in to let y’all know I’m writing well and making progress. Oh and, we’ve got a cover for the Berkley trade paper edition of Pajama Girls.
How is everybody?
PS On another front, I’m spending a part of every day working on the revised second edition of English with an Accent. It’s very odd but quite interesting to get back into linguistics research.

There’s no way around it, I have to buckle down which means, I’m going to be taking a break from the blogosphere. I’ll be around until tomorrow in case you have questions that need answers, and I’ll leave this post open so you can comment if you like or talk to each other.

The thing alcoholics and drug addicts have in common? Denial. And isn’t that true of any addiction? Even ones that don’t involve mind-altering substances. Such as storytelling.

Let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise . . . but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us - for good and for ill. It is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative.
