Birth of the Blog

Reviewing my materials and waiting to see Berlin Alexanderplatz, pts 1-3, the idea hits me. Since working for Cornell Univ in the late 1990s I have had a frightening attachment to the way that the web magnifies the power of content and the attraction of transparency.

I'm in Peet's on Shattuck Av. and I start to think of what I am going to do with my life. Long story, but one of the alternatives to throwing myself in front of a bus was to jump into blogging the notes from my first novel as they happen.
