"A narrative begins to prove propulsive, springing forward and whisking the reader along for the ride, at a moment of breakage."

My book review of TOM LAKE by Ann Patchett is up at @The_Millions, with thanks to @smswrites for her thoughtful edits. #5amwritersclub #momswritersclub

"Patchett writes literary fiction, but here, she borrows techniques from mysteries and thrillers, and I imagine her smiling each time she teases the reader with a new secret."
Jill Witty considers Ann Patchett's pandemic novel.

Me: don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Also me, updating my website: WHY can't I get the spacing right, why won't these columns align, why is this picture so big, why is this font so small...

Me: Felt like a rubber band snapped in my foot. Can't bear weight on it. I need an MRI.
Primary care: You're out of town; go to Urgent Care
Urgent Care: We can only do x-rays; if you need MRI go to ER
ER: ($250 copay). Let's do an X-ray.

Finished the last revision before taking a break for a family vacation. Whether this book ever sees publication, I am really, really proud of it. I cry every time I read it.
