alanajoliWhile making progress on Regaining Home, I managed to completely neglect other assignments with rather firmer due dates. Which means that this weekend is devoted to those pieces (short articles about authors), and hopefully I'll be back to work on the novel by Tuesday.
While working on the articles today, I discovered the websites or Joaquin Dorfman, who is the author of Playing It Cool and was born the same year as me. (This is yet another reminder that I am no longer young--I've discovered that a lot of the folks I work with at Empty Room Studios are my age or younger, which was a bit of a surprise. For years I was used to being the youngest person I worked with. But I digress.)
At any rate, his current website www.joaquindorfman.com and his old website at www.melloweb.com are distinctly less than useful to a researcher--but hilarious to watch. The writer comes across as a ham, but in all the right ways, and the fact that he would film himself doing goofy stuff and then put it up online--to promote his books, of course--is endearing enough to me that I'm sharing. So go spend the five or ten minutes on his websites to watch the goofiness. And then maybe pick up his books. (I won't know if they're any good until I read the reviews for my article, and even then, the reviews aren't always a good judge. I say that as a reviewer myself.)
