What I'm Reading
This month, I read Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Donna Tartt's The Little Friend, A. Manette Ansay's Limbo, Joan Didion's Year of Magical Thinking, and I'm currently reading Jodi Picoult's Vanishing Acts.
I'm used to doing the interviewing, but, today, Jordan Rosenfeld (of Write Free, Writer's Digest, and Poets & Writers) did the interviewing. We talked about creativity and courage.
