With a Little Help From My Friends

I love so many things about being a writer...

• Chatting with my writer friends (where is everyone tonight? )
• Emailing my writer friends
• Critiquing stories written by my writer friends
• Reading the blogs of my writer friends
• Commenting on the blogs of my writer friends
• Reading the comments left on my blog by my writer friends
• Talking about books with my writer friends
• Talking about music and movies with my writer friends
• Talking about nonsense with my writer friends (Jed and I recently talked about how to become a witch...)
• Great articles from my writer friends (Letter to an MFA--pdf), and thanks, Deonne, for this great piece detailing common mistakes, commonly made by me.
• Hearing about great writer events like when Mitch saw Martin Amis at the New Yorker festival...

Funny how I never seem to get much writing done...I blame my job.

Note: It is possible that Jed and I had a conversation recently on this topic, but I can't remember any specifics...
