I’ve been keeping this blog for four years. Start from the beginning, and read the whole thing. And then tell me which parts you liked the best.

I’ve been reading your archives for the past few weeks and I love your writing and your stories. The last thing I read was about how masculinity is idolized and it blew me over. I don’t know anyone who is not guilty of that, either idolizing their own masculinity or someone else’s. Myself included. I’d really like to be able to read your new, password-protected posts, if you wouldn’t mind. It’s a beautiful world that you describe, and one that’s very far from mine. (not that I don’t find my own world beautiful, in it’s own way!).
Thanks and take care,

Dear Carrot:
I have enjoyed reading many of your stories, and it finally occurred to me today that you might be interested in writing a piece for a journal I edit, the Oregon Historical Quarterly. First-person accounts have comprised much of the Quarterly’s pages for the past 110 years, and you could help to document an aspect of Oregon life that will be challenging for historians to understand. If you are interested, please get in touch at the email address listed above.
Take care,
Eliza
Salute!

You write well. I’ve been an editor and publisher for – well, let’s say, quite a long, long time and in different countries. Continue with your style and don’t “think” about it. Nice to know there are still people who know how to write – and mean what they say. Nice one.
i love this picture of you. i come back to it often.
I just happened upon a beat up copy of pilgrim at tinker creek and decided to get some orientation to annie dillard… my weird internet journey wandering here to your blog and thought it strange that my inquiry into a writer’s work would lead me to a (-nother) writer with some connection to oregon (where i am) and that was delightful, meaningful and gave me comfort. so thank you!
Katherine-
I am obsessed with Annie Dillard’s writing, so yes, we are kindred spirits! I’m glad that you found my blog!
Best,
Carrot
