Hey,
I quickly read some of your stuff and you’ve got a neat point of view - especially liked your ‘dribble’. Just something to pass along that I found more interesting then I (as a ’serious’ writer) thought I should and that was a Book by Janet Evanovitch about how she writes. (I listened to the cd while on my treadmill.) Of course, her methods work for her and maybe nobody else but I found myself thinking more and more about what she said. I’ve now started to employ some of her recommendations in my attempt to “get on with it” and find that I’m writing more. Give her a listen - who knows…

Mary June,
I just read “Bingo in Modern Times” and loved it. You have great talent as a writer and I’m sure you’ll attain your writing goals.
I appreciated your comments about book authors, being one myself. It is a tremendous task to conceive and execute an entire novel–an achievement not everyone appreciates (not even my wife and kids).
Best of luck!
