L.A. quote of the day
Author Aimee Bender, on being a novelist in a screenwriter town (she lives and writes in a Hollywood apartment):
"They don't know what to do with you. There's a lot of space for invention and reinvention. I like the freedom that offers.'' (New York Times Magazine)
(Her advice to writers: it's OK to check your e-mail in the morning, but if you let yourself go on the Internet, procrastination will occur. [tell me about it...])

There's a lot of novelists in LA--she's just young and sort of cute. I think she's a fairly generic writer--sounds like every other Irvine MFA. "Flammable Skirt" isn't exactly Chekov.
