Welcome to my new blog: I started the blog for several reasons:
1) To encourage/force myself to write regularly. I've just finished a memoir which is now at the editor's, and I've had trouble motivating myself to start something new.
2) Hopefully, this will be a good way to keep in touch with scattered friends.
3) I hope to take ideas from the blog and develop them into radio pieces, published essays, etc.

My commitment (to regular readers and to myself) is to post at least once a week, usually on Monday.
