Karin was at the Britten concert too? Ooh, can't wait to hear what she thought. Karin? Karin?
Jennifer - thanks for the nice words, and I love the way you write, too.
PS - Sydney, feel free to join us in CA any time! (We Kansas girls need to stick together.)

Ah....sigh....your blogs always do this to me. I feel pushed to the edge of....something.
Congratulations on "finishing" your novel. I love the way you describe the process. I know what you mean about the emptiness. You MUST tell us all when this book is going to be published, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who will want to read it. (And I do know what a process it is getting things published). But your writing always moves me. I STILL think about the woman in the story about the violin in the attic, and it humming, and how it felt under her hands, and her not understanding husband and her emptiness, and what the violin filled, and how it really WAS an inheritance, even though the violin wasn't worth all that much. (And in case you didn't know, which I know you do--THAT really says something, for a story and its characters to stick in someone's head).
How's it going with your new violin? I'm really starting to think I need a new violin too. I think I've finally gotten better than my instrument (my battered old "camp" fiddle)--it simply doesn't have any range or breadth--though it's very sweet. I'm scared to start looking, because I know I could end up spending far more than I can afford.
Are you still loving your new instrument? You ARE going to keep playing, even if you're no longer in that world in your writing, right?
