I love this so much. Watching replay on 26 April, which is my 36th sober birthday, after a big birthday meeting with lots of old friends and cake, and I’m happily relating with you both. What a gift💙

Congrats, and also, sobriety is an upgrade, isn’t it? When I got sober I felt like I’d completed the alcohol level.

That's a great way of looking at it. Does that mean when I stopped being a journalist and started writing fiction I completed the creative level?

Sherman is one of my favorite writers. He sees the people who read his books and he writes great stories and verse for us.

Great chat here!

Why did you delete my comment concerning Alexie's history of sexual harassment and preying on young writers?
