More power to him! I helped my aunt, who is 79, edit and publish a little memoir about her and my mom being raised on a resort near Ely. It’s a sweet little book and she sold nearly a thousand copies, which made her very, very proud. Everyone has a story to tell.
And yes, Rene’ is the person who unchained the beast within me…

Mark,
My uncle has done the same thing for years; he’s 86 and writes poems mostly but with paper and pencil. He says it keeps his head in the right place or something like that! Greetings to you and your lovely wife, the encourager.

Never, ever look back and be critical to the point of doubting. Sure, I read stuff from even a day ago and say, “I could have done that better.” In truth, after several million words (no kidding), maybe ten sentences were brilliant. But that’s OK. You just keep the fingers on the keys…
I have truly never sat in front of the screen and been paralyzed by fear or block. I am lucky, I guess…

…really? Never had writer’s block? Never? Ever feel, looking back on something you’ve written, that you’d rather have had writer’s block than put down what you did? That’s what blocks me. The horrible humiliation of reading something I wrote long ago, wishing to hell someone would have killed me first. Or at least broken my fingers.

Love the Papa cup.

Hey Mark, You don’t have to Google yourself, just sign up for “Google alerts.” It alerts you as soon as your name is on the ‘net.

I do not think it horrifically shallow of you. And I totally agree that if a person doesn’t have an ego he or she doesn’t become a trial lawyer or District Court Judge or a blogger or a writer.

Cynnthia:

I’m sick at home today so I chanced upon your comment. I had not received anything through the website up until now. Don’t know why. Anyway, I’d love to hear more. The easiest communication is via email at: cloquetriverpress@yahoo.com.
Thanks.

Good morning, Mr. Munger.

I tried contacting you last month or so, through the website, and perhaps it is just that you are not interested… However, in January, the Rural Lit RALLY (RLR) website will be featuring Herbert Krause. As a part of that, Drs. Paul G. Theobald (Dean, School of Education; Chair, SPF Department, and Woods Beals Endowed Chair at Buffalo State College) and David Pichaske (professor, Southwest Minnesota State; publisher, Spoon River Press) will hold a blog discussion on the RLR site. Dr. Theobald has frequently referenced the above post to me, and we would very much like to have you participate in the discussion. If you might be interested, I’d like to send you a formal letter of invitation, and a few more specifics. I hope to hear from you. Thank you for your time. Cynthia Anthony
