Reflections on Writing

My dear friend Molly just published her delightful book, Margo. It was a long haul for her. She is in her 70's with a youthful mind that just won't give in to senior-hood. I love her dearly. Although not the normal fare for The Messenger, I reviewed it here. How could I not? 

That started me thinking about writing and books, and "stuff." I read a lot of books for The Messenger and review those I think are worth reading. I know, that's subjective. Like art, I know what I like. I don't have to agree with the author's point of view or philosophy, but it has to be well-written, honest, and engaging.
