Behind the Scenes of Moving Inland

Why I write it. What it's based on. What I think I'm trying to say.

Dear Friends,

I’m writing about writing what I wrote. It’s a new idea that I’m trying out and I’d love to hear what you think. If we think it works, I might make it a habit: a kind of companion piece for each short story.

I don’t expect you to read my writing with the same intensity and focus that I write it. I also think that to be a good writer, I have to express myself in a way that makes it easy for you to pick up what I’m trying to put down.

My friend Patrick Gilger, SJ tweeted some Thomas Aquinas quote (originally in Latin…) that got me fizzing.
