I wish I had a way to describe why I love your writing so much. It’s so absolutely you to find the impossibly funny, real, many times dark, whimsical and ironic thing in all situations, yet this doesn’t cover what I feel about your writing at all. I can’t catch you. I can’t get to you. I’m always chasing YOU, and then, suddenly, I’m laughing so hard, feeling let into this secret about not taking it ALL so seriously, about how it’s better to look into the face of our own lives. This is when I know you’ve been with me all along, that you get it, and I feel safe, just knowing you are out there.

Great information for every writer-aspiring as well as seasoned. I will integrate this into my writing groups, Liz.

Extremely helpful post. And I loved your shiva story - "Roshomon with pastrami on rye" !
