Muddy

Sorry for the silence. I was dogsitting Kingsley & Ezra this past week (pictured above frolicking in mud; thanks to David Prior for the photo). The reading/fundraiser went well, although now I'm kind of convinced my book may be too depressing. Now I'm off to Vermont to go camping, believe it or not. I'll report back when I return to Mass (the state, not the church event).

Hey scott I love the pic of the dogs, we're currently Fostering 4 male cats because my sister works at the RSPCA, they're a hand full and only 3 weeks old. I'm sure the book will be fine, life's never full of roses and sunshine anyway.

Hope you're having an awesome time camping. Curious: what's your fave Munro book and or story? I love "Menesetueng" so much.

I agree with Amanda; if the novel moves the reader, then your work is done. I look forward to being devastated.

There are definitely moer than a few people out there -- myself included -- who would say that there's no such thing as "too depressing."

no offense to kingsley, but my kids both thought he was a pig in this picture. ezra, on the other hand, is clearly a dog. i can't wait to hear how the camping trip went!
