I hope you all enjoy great health and happiness in 2007. May it be the best year ever!

I have only one resolution this year, but it's a big one. I will write something every day, even if it's only a sentence. My short stories and memoir and poetry will grow and grow, and you'll find more to read around here, too, I hope.

Much to report about the annual meeting of the Modern Lanugage Association, just concluded in Philadelphia, Christmas books received, and some fabulous reading. Stay tuned.
