I’ll be doing some traveling today (I’m lucky–it’s an easy trip, and I’m a mere passenger, not a driver/pilot/conductor). I do hope that at some point, I’ll be able to plug in my headphones and enjoy this terrific “Big Think” series of author commentaries on the theme of writing fiction. Here are just a few of the particpants’ names to pique your interest: Salman Rushdie, Isabel Allende, Anne Lamott. (Hat tip, for the second time this week, to Mark Athitakis for the find.)

I know that many of you will be celebrating Christmas this weekend, and I want to wish you all a wonderful, meaningful, and very merry holiday.

And I’ll look forward to seeing everyone back here on Monday.
