So, now Chas has told Scott I am an aspiring novelist - ha ha ha! I said to Scott, well I want to be, but doing is another matter entirely. So now I am under an obligation to write (I feel). God, I feel so inarticulate and I even am betaing this as I go along, using the same words too much Iana, already, only three lines of text, bleah! The Andre Aciman I am reading right now, Call Me By Your Name I am criticizing for being too much telling and not enough showing. It's still good though. Not very hot, a lot of angst - it seems to be about a summer crush, and exquisitely described (even though it is too much telling and not showing). I am reading along and going yes, yes, exactly right, if I had words I would have described my experience that way.
Mary Ann at work is just so excited we are getting our new ministers this week. I love it when she is buoyant. Even though this means more work for me (because we have to get ready for the new ministers).
