- I'm here! At the Anam Cara retreat in West Cork, Ireland, a writers' heaven. This is the view from my bedroom/workroom window, over the front of the house. Luckily, I am facing this way, because the view from the other side of the house, of rolling green hills down to the sea, is far too distracting. I arrived an hour ago, we had lunch, and I've just set myself up.This is my third visit here and ...

- I have found my village. It’s called Red Room/where the writers are. Where friends are too, I’ve discovered. How comforting it is to be able to let it all hang out regarding my impending heart surgery and not be concerned about commas, or periods, or spelling (thanks to spellcheck) and know that Dr. Jitu, and Ellen, and Huntington, and so many of you are thinking of me and offering kind ...

- Shouldn’t we treat our community volunteers as our society’s “untouchables”? I obviously don’t mean this in the mobster-thug sense of the word where hoodlums instill fear in the masses until the likes of Eliot Ness steps in to seek justice. Nor do I mean this in the reprehensible sense of the Indian caste system in which poverty and despair seem to be deemed contagious. I mean it, ...

- Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to 800 supporters of Project Cornerstone, the Bay Area non-profit devoted to fostering 41 developmental assets in area youth. The organization is as near and dear to my heart as the subject they asked me to speak about—community building. During these times of perpetual input of bad news about hard times, it is more important than ever that we have ...

- 1. You don't want to repeat yourself, or to let the audience get bored (or fear that they've heard it all already). Bringing in some new talent to open the show gives the audience some new literary delights. Some of these emerging writers display dazzling gifts, both on the page and on stage.2. You can help to promote the reputations of emerging writers. This is good karma. Someone did ...

- Obama won, he's burning the midnight whatever-people-burn-now-that-candles-are-deemed-bad-for-the-eyes and, despite what a few aging white men declare, he just might succeed. So why am I occasionally beset by just a wee hint of bitterness? Do any of those guys (yes, I do mean Republicans) take responsibility for the last eight years of shoveling our bodies into a deep hole out of which some of ...

- Back in the day, I had a diary. (No, children, we did not carve words into stone tablets in those days. Really.) So my original understanding of a blog was that it was just like a diary. Except on the computer, and open to anyone to read. In the past year, I've found that a blog is very different. A diary you write in, when you remember, and if you don't, then it's still there just as you left ...
