Morning, glories. Who's writing what today? Memoir, grocery list, short story, rant?
I'm working on my syllabus for a fiction writing workshop I'll be teaching at Johns Hopkins. It's fun to think thru what will inspire & move writers forward in their work.

25 years since ' Midnite Vultures' was released. I remember how this album blew me away, especially after the equally brilliant but far more introspective 'Mutations'. Th'at's what I loved about Beck - always genre-hopping, always suprrising.
