This video comes compliments of Judy Merril Larsen, and though it doesn’t fall under literary or books, for me (celebrating 40 years as a Cubs fan) it is inspirational. For the non-Cubs-fans reading this (and the Cubs fans, too), do come back tomorrow. I’ve got a very special guest-posting team: bestselling author, poet, and essayist Elizabeth Rosner (if you haven’t read her award-winning novels The Speed of Light and Blue Nude or her poetry collection, Gravity, now is the time!) AND Dan Smetanka, former Executive Editor at Ballantine/Random House, where he acquired and published a number of award winning debut writers, including Rosner and another of my favorite authors, Dan Chaon. They’ll be blogging about the process of bringing a book to print, and I can tell you it is an inspiring – and literary – story. – Meg
