paper mail



there's such joy in receiving printed stories with paper mail. yesterday "The White Road" by Tania Hershman arrived, it's the first book i've won in an online contest - i'm reading another book right now, but just had to open it and read a first story. it's an amazing book, i will write more when i read more - here the book webpage link, it includes an excerpt: The White Road.

and in parallel mail news, the postcard Karyn and i pieced together in Vienna and sent to Rose in Mexico now finally arrived, a picture of it is up in Rose's blog - it's the yellow chameleon art postcard in the upper left corner. (not that it would be easy to miss).

and in yet more paper mail news, i received a funky folded card from Folded Word (it joins the road in the picture above) -- and i am working on the blueprintpress micro novels, and mailed the proof copies to Nora in Cyprus and Mike in Colorado this morning. such a beautiful project, very different from online editorial work - next week, the covers will go online. (here's more on the micro novels).
