In the meditation I found the name of my novel- ‘Chicago Days’ is Tripio!” The above entry is from a more recent SotM (Sketchbook of the Mind) and captures my process, my technique, my style and my approach to writing perfectly. …
A troubling thing has been happening on this journey to publish Tripio. I have been getting asked quite a bit: “What is a tripio?” This was first brought to my attention at a class on memoir writing at the Indiana Writers Center. No one in the class with me knew what a tripio was. It …
