Love you Isla. Welcome back. You are wonderful and have a beautiful mind. You catch flack becuse you dare to be alive. You have so much to give.
Damn, Isla, I just remembered I caught part of a beautiful interview with a lady SF writer, know her voice but havn't heard her name in years. Will maybe come to me here in a min. Older and more infeabled here. Some stuff she said. There's more room in a broken heart. Write books that you like to read. That way you create in the world what you like. It makes you happy. We're sad not for what we haven't got, but for what we havn't given. They found out, in a nome for orphans and uncared for kids that always cried at night that if you gave them a piece of bread before they went to bed they would be quiet. They wouldn't eat it. They would hold it to tell them that somebody cared.
Anyway I bet you'd love her stuff, maybe even already read her. Found it:
City Arts & Lectures
This week's speaker is writer Annie LaMott. Anne Lamott's 1993 book about motherhood, Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year brought her national attention that led to regular contributions to National Public Radio. Bird By Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life was her subsequent non-fiction effort. Her latest book is Blue Shoe.
Thanks for the date. I love meeting you like this.
