In preparation for my upcoming Radnor Memorial Library talk I look back and find

...the very first page of the very first notes I ever took, for my very first writing workshop.  I was a mother already.  I was way too old to be a newbie.  But there I was in Spoleto, Italy, in July 1994, and there, before me, stood Reginald Gibbons and Rosellen Brown.  In two too-short weeks they taught me most everything I still know about the making of stories. 

I'll be reflecting on the idiosyncratic evolution of this writer's life, among other things, at the Radnor Memorial Library, November 16th, 7:30.  I hope you'll join me.
