Word Pirates have another interview up. This time it’s with Creative Nonfiction, one of my favorite literary journals. From their website:

Creative Nonfiction heightens the whole concept and idea of essay writing. It allows a writer to employ the diligence of a reporter, the shifting voices and viewpoints of a novelist, the refined wordplay of a poet and the analytical modes of the essayist.

I know I definitely learned a thing or two reading this interview. Check it out if you are so inclined.

Haircut!

  • It is soup weather.
  • We go to Italy in less than two weeks.
  • I don’t have to water my garden because of the rain.
  • It is apple weather.
  • Litquake starts on Saturday.
  • Our friends are giving us a real fridge, so I no longer have to use a fridge from the 1980s.
  • Most people look better in scarves and long-sleeves than shorts.
  • It is book weather.
  • Leaves are starting to turn.
  • We lit a fire in our fireplace the other night.
