Cold, cold here, with a grim sky.

I'll be writing today, and waiting for snow.

First line of my unwritten draft: "Sometimes I fear I'm losing my ability to imagine."

Yesterday, as I was reading Tender Is the Night, F. Scott Fitzgerald told me, "Like most women, she liked to be told how to feel."

I wonder if he ever figured out how much that sentence hurts.

  1. Oh, good glory, that sentence sent me running for my copy of Tender is the Night!!! AND I just sent a letter to my Representative(well, not MY first choice, but who I have!!) to urge him not to undermine women's healthcare.

  2. We had a lovely two-inch coating of ice this morning but I managed to pick through enough to get out with the dogs to the lawn.

    I wonder how many other women hiss every time they read that sentence. His male readers probably liked it.

Thanks for responding. I'll post your comment soon, as long as you're not a troll.
