Who's reading all of these memoirs? It must be someone, because I see all kinds of hubbub whenever a new memoir from some famous person comes out, whether that's a celebrity or a politician (who these days seem really to be little more than wanna-be celebrities who happen to have actual power over people's lives).

I had a few short story ideas flittering around in my head this week that I deliberately did not turn into short stories because I knew I needed to focus on Impressions.

Getting what I wanted to into chapter nine took longer than expected, and I'm still not sure if it works quite right - I imagine that it might take some detailed revisions when I get to that point to make it work for readers with the rest of the story.
The Naming Review
