Thoroughly enjoyed your essay Trina. Loved the humorous anecdote. Beautiful, flowing writing about an interesting subject.

Thanks Becky for creating this little island of Beckiness. :-) I have so enjoyed and benefited from your classes at U of T and I am thrilled to be part of this community.

I have said this before to you and I will state it again here - as a teacher / fellow student on this writing road you bring something special to the experience. I am reminded here with your interview questions, your personal writing and inclusion of opportunity for us to leap off the submission cliff, of just how lovely, helpful, and thorough and expansive you are in making this experience safe, inspiring and free. It could not have come at a better time as I meld projects that emerged form the various classes in CNF I took into a potential CNF novel.
