My friend and computer whiz, 11-year-old Anna Katherine Daley, was kind enough to bring me into the 21st century this morning and set up a website and blog site for this antiquated writer. I am a huge fan of Edith Wharton's and daydream sometimes about what it must have been like when there were few women writers, when writing was all about selecting the most beautiful and well-intentioned words to grace the pages of a hand-printed, leather or fabric covered book, and when writers hung out with other writers all day and eloquently discussed their prose. But, alas, I am in the high-tech, fast-paced, modern world and I must adapt. Thus, my goal for this blog is to effectively communicate with other writers, with those who want to write, and with those who aspire to teach writing. I will plan to have some weekly writing tips available and will strive to answer questions based on any "writers blocks" that any of you experience.
