Shelf Mystery?

      Finishing the Lavansdatter trilogy it was time for another book. The one I'd like to have started is in The Little House. There's only a small bookcase in the apartment in the OFH. That's deliberate to facilitate finding new homes for books I've read. Pursuing that small bookcase one caught my eye. "Where did that come from?" The only clue in the book was a scrap of paper used as a bookmark, with one word on it "hours" in Joanne's handwriting. It's not the type of book I'd associate with her.

    Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life, Dani Shapiro, is a guide for authors. Shapiro has published numerous books; novels and memoirs. She has taught creative writing in many different places. The book is full of wisdom for serious writers. When she writes about her personal life I found it most interesting. Though she's published much this is my first exposure to her work.

   Have either of you read any of books or articles?

I recognize the name and I don’t believe I have read any of her books.

I’ve not read her books. She’s noted for her memoirs. Tell us what you think about Still Writing
