I love the thought that fiction is the lie that tells the truth truer. This post is wonderful and gave me a lot to think about!

I think this particular newsletter is one of my favorite newsletters of all time. Like you, Suzy, the "voices" come. They're me but not me. They tend to go into the dark holes where I've been. More than anything, I think Tom taught us to be brave with a capital B. Fiction is my "real" life. Thanks!!!

You're a fantastic outloud-reader (and writer, obviously) - I learned that first fact at Salon Rouge. I'm supporting a workshop at 9am on Saturday, April 19, otherwise you bet your buns I would be at Bold. Damn. But I hope you enjoy the ongoing celebration of life for Tom.

"Fun" is not a word I anticipated. Thank you for the encouragement. :)
