It’s been recommended to me by a number of people. And now I have her new book, Old Friend From Far Away, which I picked up at the reading. Apparently she is big into writing exercises. I’ve never really been a big fan of exercises. I do them occasionally, but then I like to get on with my stories.

I could barely understand a single syllable the man said! And he spoke to me for almost five minutes. I just nodded my head a lot.
