Eliza!


Coco and I met Eliza today, which was really exciting! Until now, Eliza has existed in our life merely (yet wonderfully) as an e-persona on one of my favourite blogs, http://conversationattheedge.com Now, she's a real-life, flesh and blood person!!

This element of life delights me!!

Since preschool I have read voraciously, and appreciate exquisite writing in multifarious forms. I have natural writing talent, and derive deep satisfaction from creating prose, yet I have spent my life longing to write novels and not doing so. The work I am submitting came into existence because I was applying to attend the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Belonging to this writing community would enable me to be disciplined in producing literature. The tutelage and mentoring I would receive is something I y...
