The bound galleys for my memoir “The Lost Night” arrived this week, which is pretty damn exciting. After a satisfying night at San Francisco Ballet yesterday (look for the review in the Chronicle tomorrow), I’m pressing onward with the novel this afternoon. And just when I needed a little nudge past first draft dread, I’ve discovered this wonderful site with early versions of stories by San Francisco writer Julie Orringer, whose collection How to Breathe Underwater I so admired last year. Click this link and you’ll find pages from Orringer’s working journals and manuscript excerpts with her Stegner Fellowship professors’ comments. It’s a reassuring reminder that steady revision is sometimes the name of the game—though it helps to be blessed with Orringer’s talent.
