Louise, I was up but not exactly out…photo from my window : ), And wow, wow, congratulations on writing the stories and pulling together a collection, and best of all you’re going to be a revision expert–just like me, but with an official degree!

My goodness, brag away! For being up and out at that hour and for your photography skills and for having the energy after a marathon weekend of reading and polishing! I’m doing a practice based creative writng degree; I’ve written a thematically linked short story collection and in my critical commentary I’m exploring some of Alice Munro’s narrative strategies, especially her revision process. Or, as my sister jokes, the ‘student debt, no job’ degree, ha ha.

twofelines, thank you–can you hear the music? can you see me dancing?

Thank you, Louise. I have to admit I was kind of bragging with the photo–I’m not usually up at that hour, but the sun pours in early here. Good luck with your thesis. The reading aloud is something, isn’t it? What is your subject?

Thanks, Patricia! And of course I fiddled with it… But it’s gone now!
