Last month, I got to spend a few hours with one of my writing mentors, an author whose work I love.

Since then, she’s continued publishing her usual truthful, pointed, eloquent posts and commentaries. She caught a lot of heat over one in particular, an article for CNN which garnered her over 5000 mostly-nasty messages.

Just another day at the office, for her.
