"Hi She Writers -
Like so many of you, I turned to writing to process last Friday's shooting - even though words felt so small and useless. "Life in the Gray: After Sandy Hook" is about living with contradictions (with guns, mental…"

Seeing Japanese photographer Fubirai's amazing photos of "Cat Heaven Island" inspired me to write about my own history with cats at sea (and share some photos.) If you're a cat person, you'll like…"

What's the role of "place" in your writing? How does "place" sometimes take on such a powerful role as to become a character itself? Alaskan author Seth Kantner (Ordinary Wolves, Shopping for Porcupine)…"

Deborah Batterman said… - I had my reservations and was slow to join in . . . Now I'm on Facebook, too. Then there are days when I say 'no' to everything. So glad my blog pulled you in. The story you tell via yours is a unique one, indeed. I'll be back.

Carolyn Barbre said… Hey Tele, Smoke was licking her chops at your Black Cod descriptions and recipe. She's not as tough as she sounds, basically she's just scared of people, dogs and other feral cats but don't tell Bear. Smoke may be a little hurt about her standoffishness though. Hope the boat cat gets a chance to drop a line soon.
Memoir writers are a difficult lot. Everything is so personal for us. Thanks for your comment. I would love to read your memoir.

I used to live in Seattle, and have happy memories of life in the Northwest. You sound like you live a fascinating, adventurous life. I look forward to visiting your blog, too. :)
