WRITING & REALITY?: Life

Posted on May 8, 2004 by Susan

Cliché: Life is full of ups and downs. Truth: Most of life, in between its stages, is spent crablike, moving sideways. Even Super Mario meets brick walls, and leaps up to scamper across a new plateau. I suppose that there … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: What To Wear

Posted on May 3, 2004 by Susan

In typical Susan style, I immersed myself in literary mode this weekend to the exclusion of the less exciting world of picture framing and housecleaning. My husband forced me to take a break by suggesting we take a quick ride … Continue reading → Continue reading →
