Here's a Valentine for all my readers



My friend Lida came over today to have lunch and work on her new book (#7, I think). Lida says she loves being 88 but can't wait till she can say she's 90. Why is she still creating after her long, fruitful career as a photographer, writer, and artist? It's her nature: she's curious, alert, engaged in life. The "statement" she loves is a sentence from a review in the Washington Post praising her work. She loves it the way she loves all praise and encouragement. It feeds her remarkable energy.

    I hope by then I have a book published, too.

    I have seven textbooks which bear my name and a (third-rate) novel, which was more work. I feel I have 3 more books in me, but can't seem to sequentialise them out of the mess in my head :-(

    I find blogging MUCH easier, because it's onla a page at a time, no plot, no structure, no characters. Books are MUCH harder to do... YMMV

    Yeah, but with text-books I just regurgitate stuff I already know, albeit imposing some kind of sensible structure on it ;-)

    What a gal. In five years I hope I can still be blogging. Lida is an inspiration.
