In the mornings I write Berlin for Tamra. It comes slow, but it comes. Perhaps I don't want to say goodbye to these characters. Perhaps I am dwelling longer than I should. I am in the homestretch now, but I won't rush it. I can't. You don't hurry your way toward story.
In the meantime, I am blessed by a certain Jessica Shoffel of Philomel, who is doing so much to ease the path of Small Damages into the world, and getting remarkable results. I am blessed, too, by my agent Amy Rennert. She knows why.
The word, this week, is magic.

Magic! This makes me so happy for you. If you see the dolphins will you show me? Danke.
I'm so glad for you. What a beautiful place for beautiful words.
Magic is a great word for every day. Wonderful photos as usual. Speak to those characters for me today.
These pictures are so beautiful and I'm so glad you are having a great week and not rushing the story.
I love those photos. And I love to think of you there, taking time with your writing and your characters.
