Process

The Secret of the First Sentence
Every writer knows the quiet tension that exists before the first sentence appears on the page. It is a strange moment, one that often passes unnoticed by the rest of the world. From the outside, it looks simple: a person sitting in front of a screen, hands resting on a keyboard, doing absolutely nothing.

Boxing
When I was in my mid-thirties, I joined the Augusta Boxing Club on Walton Way. The subtitle is the club motto, and I saw guys wearing t-shirts emblazoned with sayings like “Fighting solves EVERYTHING.” I was the only woman, and I swear I got high on the testosterone.
