    I have a short piece today on pattinase, Patricia Abbott's blog, about writing the story Mapping the Territory, which is posted here and also published at Shotgun Honey. The "How I Wrote"--both stories and books--column is published a couple of times a week and has a lot of good stuff on it.

    Great story, nice bit of insight in the "How..." of it. Getting down into the down and dirty corners of our less Proustian, wilder human perspectives is what makes some writing terrific.

    Jane Hammons is a master in this.
