    Thanks Amy, Today you helped me understand my life. Point #1. I do happen to be half Asian ( just saying). #2. Once I enthusiastically wrote a report about a book I had to read in a Literature class at a Junior College (you would think they'd be more nurturing) and the teacher called me to her desk handing me my first test paper with red ink all over it (and the lowest grade I'd ever seen), and her face all screwed up, asking me, "What is this?" ... well, all the blood left my body and I was frozen. All I knew was it was BAD!!! And I was traumatized!!! I could NOT speak. She spoke and said, she didn't understand a thing I wrote. I am traumatized telling you this. It was over 30 years ago, and every once in while I think about that incident. ... I know that paper had something to say and only today do I know what happened. It was like your 9/11 experience only I was out of context. I have trouble controlling my predictive imagination, which I find is often spot-on,. #3. I'm more of a poet... A few years later I took a "reading and writing text" class at a university in which I took and "F" in... The first day, I'm sitting in the front row, the professor walks in, stands directly in front of me, crosses his arms and announces in a deep voice, "The first thing I want to tell is class, this is NOT a creative writing class." I was so shocked, I said out loud, "I think I'm doomed!" (In which I was) You should have seen his eyes roll down on me... The class subject was the French Revolution. I got a tutor for 2-3 days a week . I dearly tried. I loved it. Never dropped out. I think it was the history. The professor kept asking me when I would drop out. I told him it was the best class I ever had. I loved that guy, he was a great history teacher, he could have asked me any questions (in which I did ask him to, thinking I could at least pass the history part) , I just can't write, PERIOD! But today, at 74 years old, I have stopped beating myself up!!! and I've had a great laugh. You are correct is saying, “The bigger the humiliation now the better the story later.” I love you, and what you are doing. Thanks again. 🙂

    When I was a recent college graduate my first job was in a library. On my first day I went through an orientation that included a tour of materials arranged by languages. It went well until I heard, “Here are the Russian-Haitian items.” After pondering the impossibility of this combination, I later discovered that this was a strange designation for “rush and hasten” these items ASAP. As weird as this is, I have adopted “rush and hasten” into my personal vocabulary because I love seeing the reactions.

    It's rare, I think, to be as brilliant in live performance as on the written page -- but that's my experience of author Ava Chin's storytelling in both mediums. Even if you've not read "Mott Street," I think others will likewise enjoy this lively, fascinating, and entertaining tale of Chin's growing up as a fifth-generation Chinese-American New Yorker who, in her quest for a permanently absent father, discovered a wider network of rich family roots among which she ultimately found herself. Delivered with lessons for us all -- gung-gung, gung-gung, gung-gung...

    Just finishing Sing Her Down. It's been on EVERYBODY's Top Ten crime novel lists for this year. She can definitely write, but I don't like it as much as everybody else did. That said, I didn't launch it into the trash -- something I'm often inclined to do with crime fiction written by women. (I think they're generally aimed at women.) But I am inclined to read her earlier books. That's a good sign. That first novel really sounds appealing to me.
