Mason Currey, on top of having one of the coolest names I've come across in recent memory, you also have created my single favorite blog on creative rituals. You should know that I have bookmarked "Daily Routines" on four of my computers (two work, two home). I've been enjoying it for at least five years. I'm a novelist and I enjoy reading what others have to say about their processes.
I'm immediately buying this book (although the library where I work also owns it: http://catalog.jclc.org/record=b2745225~S1).
Cheers to you. (And seriously, I keep a list of names for characters to use in my future projects and BOTH Mason and Currey - I spelled it Currie- are already in it.)
I cannot wait to see what you've done with the book version of this blog.
All best!

Daily Routines (the blog) is now Daily Rituals (the book)
I launched Daily Routines on a Sunday afternoon in July 2007, while procrastinating on a writing assignment due the following day. It was intended as a hobby, and for the first year and a half I had a readership of about a dozen friends, coworkers, and family members. Then, in December 2008, S...

Shawn Zehnder Rossi! I love this! I'm Hunter Murphy and I tweet for @BPL. I'm the one who called you a Marvelous Blogger and a Great Southerner today. :) You deserve even more superlatives for this piece here on the blues. I'm really crazy about your blog here. I would lean more to the idea that it's "everything" rather than "nothing." :) You are too cool for high school. Speaking of school, I got to see RL Burnside in 1995 at Sewanee. He sat on a folding chair at the edge of the stage and absolutely made his guitar sing for two hours. It was an experience to remember.
Thanks for connecting with my library! I hope you're having a brilliant summer in Brandon with your fam.
Take care of yourself.
All best!

Josh Getzler, I hope you got to hear "Teach Your Children" and "Helplessly Hoping" http://youtu.be/_tw7hk_Hd1M at the concert. Two of my favs. I listened to them this week in fact. That's some good times music. I was born in '76 (way after my time musically). So glad to know their concerts are still good. Long live those guys. Best! -Hunter
PS Check out this song I wrote for my brother's folk band: http://youtu.be/aTVthwFtCZs.
Ruminations on CSN and Tony Gwynn
Josh Getzler So it's 11:34 and I'm in danger of missing another week's blog day. This time it was not a Jewish holiday and not a conference and not a literary reading, but a Crosby Stills and Nash concert. I was skeptical when we bought ticket--the last time we saw them was 10 years ago, when my...
