I think I’m a mite cranky thanks to having blood drawn today, but to the searches for “modern English translation to Shakespeare’s Sonnet 87″ . . . you can’t be serious, can you? I mean, really? Sonnet 87 (the sonnet, not the blog) is as plain as day. Read it a few times over, digest [...]
I didn’t set resolutions for 2010, but there are a few things I want to improve: I just didn’t feel the need to enumerate them at the New Year. I made a list which I titled “Things I Want To Do Better” in my notebook, and it included exercising smarter, writing, reading more, and searching [...]

I once cold-called a literary agent. I had a manuscript in hand that I’d been working on for over a year—I thought it was ready to go and wanted to shop it around (before you ask: it was awful). So I found this woman’s name, took a deep breath, and placed the call [...]
