Here we are on Black Friday, the annual American ritual of feverish bargain-shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. It's also the day, though not the date, our daughter was born 25 years ago, so a good day to start something new, to bring something fresh to life, to shop around for new metaphors, apt similes, to take a new step.
Taking the Big Step into the world of parenting back in 1985 connected my husband Jim and me to The Tribe of Parents. As parents, we turned to others in our tribe for support and guidance along the way. It really does take a village to raise a child.
Today, in that same spirit, I launch Fly-over Country, a place you can enter to become more connected to the Tribe of Writers wherever you are on the path. Let me know the names of your favorite writers, living and dead, tell stories, share favorite poems, offer helpful books, advice, links, tips and support.
"Only connect," E. M. Forster wrote as the epigraph to his 1910 novel Howards End. That's what Fly-over Country aspires to be--a place to connect writers. Drop by, look around, ask questions, leave a comment, become part of the conversation. I look forward to meeting you in Fly-over Country.
