In Perfect Agreement, indeed. #SundaySentence #amwriting #amreading

She'd told me years before that she suspected the end had always been with her, hovering like a moon, rising at night, a shining suggestion of the rounder, fuller life she desired.- #sundaysentence, @downingmichaelb, Perfect Agreement.

In a time when so little does, this matters. (As usual, the great Jeanne Heifetz is lighting the way.)

My friend, Jeanne Heifetz, long active in voter issues, is working on a campaign aimed at increasing the youth vote this fall. Empowerment is all. First step is registration. Here is their poster. Hashtags are #WeAreUnstoppable #TheLargestGeneration. Grateful for any RTs.

This podcast--Gred's intelligent, nuanced questions--made me better understand my own work.

New rule for Sunday: Read this, then pre-order #RulesforVisiting #amreading

So, I find myself talking about time to Time. Why does Daylight Saving Time start at 2 a.m.? https://t.co/theq7Vflby utm_source=https://t.co/5ZX5RSakh6&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-share-article #daylightsaving #amreading #time

@nytimes Downing said: "Most people don’t even understand whether moving the clocks forward gives them more sunlight or less sunlight in the morning. They just can’t remember what it does, because it so defies logic.” #daylightsaving #newyorktimes #amreading #SaturdayThoughts

@sl_penner Just a thought: "STILL IN LOVE is a lyrical and compassionate novel that is whip-smart and laugh-out-loud funny. (And the writing exercises included here are the best I’ve ever found.)" --Michelle Blake, creative-writing professor, author of the acclaimed Lily Connor mysteries

[michael downing @downingmichaelb]

"STILL IN LOVE, Michael Downing’s follow up to the successful PERFECT AGREEMENT, is an ode to teaching that is spot on the pulse of contemporary academia." https://t.co/Rw5EdXIHeA #Fridayreads #books #goodreads #writingcommunity #counterpointpress
