Frances, your comment warms my heart. The Empty Armchair was the first story I ever wrote and is based on my novel The Painting Story. It will always be special to me, and I don’t think anybody could have published it as beautifully as Contrary did. Thanks so much for liking it. And I’m the one who’s lucky to be joining you. Give Cora a hug for me.

Thanks, Doug. And I appreciate your posting this on Numero Cinq. Of my three residencies, this one seemed particularly packed and devoid of free time. Not sure quite why.

And now you’re among us! Thank you for bringing your talent to us…we are lucky.

Congratulations. It’s a lovely magazine and wonderful to see your story get so much attention. Sorry we only managed to nod and wave across crowded rooms at the residency. I don’t know about you, but I’m beat.

Doug

What a thrill it was today to open up my email and see the Contrary newsletter and their great big mention of your name.

Erika, I think you’ll enjoy Contrary.
Linda, I appreciate it.
Tricia, thanks for your support of Contrary.
Sarah, thanks for your nice reading of the story.
And Terresa, nice to see you out and about again.

Sorry to be so, so late in responding. I appreciate all of you and your comments. Wonderful writing wishes for the new year!

Froderberg and her book intrigue me, I am a variation on the theme of repetition myself…

Happy New Year. Here’s to another year of books, words and the worlds they create.

You pack a lot of emotion and detail into one short story. I liked how you framed the story with Matisse’s art and avoided a trite ending.

Happy New Year!
