“It’s not irrelevant, those moments of connection, those places where fiction saves your life. It’s the most important thing there is.”
-Neil Gaiman, Newbery Medal acceptance speech for The Graveyard Book at the annual conference of the American Library Association in Chicago, July 12, 2009.
So true. Fiction can be a life saver.

As this is about connection, I wanted to reach out and reconnect. I haven’t heard from you in a while. How are you?

Hi, Mike! Nice to hear from you again! I’m doing well. I’m way behind on reading people, plus WP or users or account upgrades from people caused me to drop off a lot of lists.
How are you?
