"Ellen, I highly recommend rereading them - or listening to them, which I'm doing. I have listened to all of George Eliot on CD and love them much more than when I read them in my 20s. They were sheer joy. The long paragraphs I skimmed over are…"

Who I am:
I write memoir, essays, short stories and flash fiction, as well as flash memoir (is that a category?) Am rediscovering G. Eliot in listening to every novel.

Hi, Mardith,

Yes, I do remember you (and your wonderful name) but I don't recall where it was either.  So glad to see that you're writing away!  And nice to reconnect with you via shewrites!  Thanks for the nice note on "Done" -- and I apologize for the delay in responding.  Are you still in the Twin Cities?  All good wishes for your writing (and reading!) -- best, Paulette
