On Writing
The writing world bids a fond farewell to author J.D. Salinger, who died on January 28 at the age of 91. Not a fan of the spotlight, he lived most of his life in seclusion, but will be forever revered for his 1951 classic novel “The Catcher in the Rye.”

ButIWasDreaming.com, the brainchild of an enterprising young grad student, is in its infancy, but as it grows will act as a global archive for dreams.
