Be inspired
The upcoming ASJA conference is always stimulating and alive with ideas to inspire your best writing as well as making new friends and meeting interesting people. Reserve April for refueling after the rigors of being chained to your word processor, computer what have you.
The last few months have been overwhelming with published interviews in HG&L Review with artists. Am now getting through the new Highsmith biography which is hop, skip and a jump on the dark and underside of Pat Highsmith and her demons, mostly her mother. It is a fascinating if fragmented read. Not a pretty picture or a lovable character. Somewhat like my own subject, Romaine Brooks. Fascinating but not one who inspired love at first sight. A cultivated taste at best.
