Today is the first day of the rest of my blog.
Posted in blogging about blogging, procrastination, sleeping cat | 1 Comment »Because you really want to know about my day-to-day struggles – as a PhD student, as a teacher, as a writer, as a lover of cats and dogs and other furry creatures, as a person stuck in Lubbock, TX, while the rest of my family is in Georgia and Illinois, as someone living at or below the poverty level, as a nonreligious gentile fascinated (perhaps obsessed) with Jewish literature and culture, as an aging human being, to sum up: as a basically displaced person – I am baring it all for you, dear, dear reader.

- Wandering Stars, Sholem Aleichem’s novel about a traveling Yiddish theatre troupe
- To Be a Playwright, Janet Neipris’s book about, well, being a playwright
