You’re very right — the ability to evolve quickly and easily has been magical for me. And it will also make it much easier for my mom to get started and see where it goes…

Has she moved in yet? Then, aw shucks: thanks for mentioning my humble little efforts. And now you're broadening my world even more with your tour of some great thinkers. Thank you for that, too. Best wishes to your mom as she settles into her new home. Remind her that online homes are so much easier to change than offline ones: redecorate, knock out a wall, turn the backyard into a jungle one weekend, a zen garden the next. See who stops by, how the conversation goes, and keep adjusting. Oh, and I nominate you as art director for her site. You've had some lush photos on Essential Prose lately.

I've yet to use this blog as a platform for posting short fiction, but it's something that's always been hanging around my mind... Lately, I've been pretty deep in non-fiction mode too, but I love creative non-fiction style... always room for more outlets to try.
