For a long time, my relationship with notebooks wasn't that smooth. It's not that I ever disliked them. On the contrary, I've always been irresistibly drawn to them. There must be kryptonite hidden inside clean, blank pages. An empty notebook just conjures up pure possibility. It could hold the first draft of a story, or… Continue reading My commonplace notebook (aka my idea/self-analyzing tool)

Adventures in New Hampshire: Concord & Manchester
As promised (well actually, I purposely did not promise anything and only said I was planning on it just in case I didn't follow through) in the postscript of my Maine post, here is another installment about my trip up north.
