Why "Ten Block Walk"?

It's a ten block walk in either direction from my apartment to the subway. But somewhere in those ten blocks is where all my best thinking seems to happen--my thoughts gel, my ideas click...and voila, blog posts are born!

(If you're a conference organizer looking for faculty, please be in touch! I can't always say yes to invitations, but I love meeting new writers & artists whenever possible.)
