And my stop came sooner than I realized. Felt a bit hasty to ask for your number as I stepped off the train, but I would love to keep talking to you. I don't think I've ever seen anyone take such extensive notes on a novel, and I was an English teacher for three years. That was one part of the conversation that we didn't get to finish. Another part is that I am just back from a year of traveling, and am now working on my own writing. if only for the kinship between artists, I hope you see this.
