A wonderful interview. It’s always so fascinating to learn about a writer’s process, and to be reminded that great stories–fiction or nonfiction–take lots of time to create, either to germinate or write or both!

Hi everyone! Thank you very much for coming over and for the encouraging comments. And thank you, Jerry, for the thoughtful questions. I really enjoyed the interview.

LisaMM, hope you find “Swimming” a good read.

OtherLisa, in part 2 Jerry and I will discuss a bit more about the differences. Right, Jerry?

Thanks, for all these great comments. I didn’t know Xujun already has a fan club, but I should have known because of the quality of her work and the generous personal energy she shares with the world.

Otherlisa, for more discussion about the difference between the two pieces, check out my previous blog entry.
