one step forward, two steps back

Honey, ever since the first moment I read a word you'd written, I have never had any doubt that you would be a successful writer.

you seem so familiar to me.

you're a good writer. believe me. read mary robison's 'why did i ever?', jean rhys' 'good morning, midnight', anything by dawn powell--if they don't make you feel like you're better off, at least you're better off for having read great stuff (maybe? if you like that kind of thing?)
anyway, how did i get here? i was looking for a car service to get to the airport, and i wind up on a stranger's blog? how typical of me. how meandering.
your words caught me somehow, and i'm not easily caught.
everything IS going to be all right.
sincerely, laura lark

Yours,
