I love interviewing. I HATE transcribing

One of my favorite things to do as a writer is to speak to people whose work I admire and enjoy. But then, it’s usually followed by one of my least favorite things to do: transcribing the recording I made of the interview.

Hot off the Internet presses…

About a month ago, I went to Rhode Island and spent a weekend eating diner food. Yes, I know, tough life. But it was research for a New York Times Escapes article on diners around the state and a diner exhibit at Johnson & Wales University’s culinary museum.
The article came out today, just click on […]
