Discoveries

[sartorias]

Recently I discovered that an old friend from junior high and high school, whom I'd lost track of when we all dispersed for college, is living a couple of blocks from me. I'd been passing her place on my bike without knowing it

Oh, that's fun! What a great discovery (both the friend and the book)! I'm sorry about the other friend who isn't well...

Thanks!

How wonderful to run into her--and she seems like she's continued to be an interesting person, what with the loom and the quilting stuff.

Juvenilia is great fun--we had a juvenilia reading party at Readercon, the brainchild of skogkatt, and even while being hilarious, some of the pieces were wonderful for showing the imagination and ambition of the child-writer.

What a great surprise! Both the friend and the novel!

[sartorias]

Heh! Well, the novel is going straight to the trash when I'm done laughing over it, but indeed, the friend is a great find.

Aww, you should bequeath it to the eventual Sherwood Smith archive in some university library so students and researchers of your work can chart your developing skill and speculate on the child you were!

Yay for rediscovery of one old friend and I hope your other friend will be better soon.

Thanks for the good wishes.

Juvenilia is great to look back on- I still have poetry going back to my early teens.

That is wonderful! I'm glad you both found each other (meaning your friend and your past self), and the work you did.

Thanks!
