I like posts that invite me into the intersection of the writer’s external and internal worlds. For example, maybe she’s at the grocery store in the personal care aisle looking at a bottle of Tums. Sure, she’s looking at antacids but what she’s thinking about is Persuasion and wondering how many of Austen’s novels included characters with gout.

Okay, I'm putting you firmly as a vote for How The Sausage Gets Made. In that vein, a funny thing happened actually. As I was looking back at this post, I was noting both the collage bookmarks and the collage potholder, and it occurred to me how much a novel is also a collage, at least from the maker's perspective and experience of it. So...next blog post shall perhaps explore this. Thx!
