1. Amy, this is golden! I found this via my dear old friend, Lynn T. Chu. (Writer’s Reps LLC, NYC) I’ve been writ­ing all my life. We oldies have jour­nals in garages going back the 30+ years which we occa­sion­ally ran­sack for parts. Not only that, but our friends (like Lynn) have left us with piles of envelopes, which can still be opened and bring a tear to the eye. (Or an epiphany to the mind.) The writ­ten word is thriv­ing. Tweets and sta­tuses are poetry. Our young friends bat the words about with pith and panache. I read them from my perch on FB and think of ee cum­mings. When you lure a guest with a beguil­ing bit of wicked jest: the inverted slap in the face of that Craig’s List ad, you are lur­ing the right dude. Write for free! Bleed it onto the page! I’m very glad to know you are and do. My plan B is yours. Amen.

   • Thanks, Ken! What a nice sur­prise this mes­sage was–and how great that you found me through Lynn. She is so scary smart and such an inter­est­ing thinker. And yes, like you, I think there is so much on the plus side in FB and social media–often over­looked in the frenzy of con­cern over how it’s “chang­ing” the way we live and think, on the the­ory that this must be a bad thing. (Just read another such piece in the Atlantic.)

     I’ll hope to con­tinue the conversation–in the mean­time, many thanks for read­ing & reach­ing out!

2. My best wishes to you! Though I am new to your writ­ing and love what lit­tle I have read so far. I hap­pened upon you at Salon a weeks back (as I am con­stant Green­wald reader and fan) and have looked for more there but to no avail. Finally got around to googling you just yes­ter­day, fol­low­ing up today and what a nice sur­prise to see you here and look for­ward to more. In the mean­time I am going to ‘catch up’ on the google links to pre­vi­ous works.

   • What a lovely mes­sage! Thank you so much. Please let me know if there are ques­tions or top­ics that you’d like to see addressed. This is my first-ever blog, and it’s very much a work in progress.

   • Again, thank you so much! (I think I might have responded to a com­ment you left on the Sub­scriber page)

3. Con­grat­u­la­tions, Amy, on launch­ing this blog. It gets to the core issue that many peo­ple are feel­ing these days, and offers them a forum and com­mu­nity to both share ideas and find sup­port. You and all who par­tic­i­pate will undoubt­edly learn a lot from the experience.
