Barbara blogs!

This item from the Hook caught my eye:

Best sign hell is freezing over: Local writer/typewriter loyalist Barbara Rich starts a blog called “A Slice of Liberal Tongue on Wry.”

I left a comment on the item asking for the URL of Barbara’s blog, and reporter Lisa Provence came through with the 411: A Slice of Liberal Tongue on Wry.

Charlottesvilleans know Barbara from her book reviews and op-ed pieces in local media; I know her from a short story writing class we both took a couple of years ago at UVa. And indeed it’s true about the typewriter — rather than use a computer, she typed up her submission for the class on a typewriter and had the instructor photocopy it for us all. Nice to see her in the blogosphere at long last. Ralph Nader had better look out.
