It's already Friday. It has been a long difficult week, as usual. The enthusiasm for this new project did produce more involvement in the world of imagination that might otherwise have occurred this week. On Wednesday I listened to an audiobook for 90 minutes in the car (Sue Grafton, D is For Deadbeat). On Thursday, I managed to continue listening to the audiobook for 90 minutes. I credit this to the delight I experience when listening to Sue Grafton. She has created the most wonderful character in Kinsey Milhone. I love that she uses the first person point of view. I also feel her use of voice is brilliant. Over and over I am pulled back into the story with a particularly delightful and original image.
Last night I also read the short story Safari by Jennifer Egan. I loved that story! Her narrator spending time in the minds of different characters was inventive and exciting. She mastered this without being confusing. I found the distinct voice of each character to be true to the character. I am enjoying reading The Best American Short Stories of 2010, edited by Richard Russo. It is a delightful read.
As for my own writing, just this blog. Hopefully more today!
