I talk to strangers. I write stuff. Wallet full of library cards. Here to help.

Books: WHEN STRANGERS MEET (about why you should), FOLLOW ME DOWN, a novel. New novel underway about theater people. Also writing some fucked up folktales.
Wonderful! (Somehow I missed that one in Dec.)

What a mensch and great teacher you are! Is there any way you can share some that info publicly? Absolutely invaluable, and it's not only the unpublished writing students who could use it. Raising my hand, for example, I've got books on the shelves but have no idea how to deal with lit mags.

Beautiful thread that prompted a memory of something that happened 30 years ago. I hope everyone has a story to share. And/or says hi to a stranger today.

My wallet was stolen and had been tossed in the gutter after thief took the cash. Stranger found it, contacted my credit card company to get it back to me. I met him on a corner with flowers. This was in NYC, not a small town. Years later I wrote a book about why people should talk to strangers.

I need no such license. I was born with one.
