Rooftop Yawp

For more than three years, I reported on – and mused about — the local literary community here in town, on a blog associated with my former employer’s Web site. Despite a heavy workload that seemed to increase in heft every day, I never resented the time-consuming responsibility of keeping the blog up and running. It soon became the highlight of my day, the jelly in my doughnut, the strip of silver silk glimmering along the hem of my cloud.

You get the idea.

Each day, I’d swim out into the Web’s waters, trailing a net behind me. And I’d trawl for literary news or trivia I deemed worth sharing: book reviews, author birthdays, interviews with writers, local readings or signings, book trends, YouTubes of trailers for movies based on books, you name it.

Well, as fate or luck would have it, it seems I might have the opportunity to resurrect those efforts, at a new online home. Too soon to say more, but stay tuned.

Happy reading.
