Lane von Herzen: UPDATE: New Emails for the OIG Hotline

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

For the record, due to the fact that my email is often tampered with, here is my happy birthday wish to Michelle Obama, one of our bright lights:

The path toward the enduring freedom of mankind depends on the upheld freedom of women and girls --whose elemental rights you have always courageously defended. Thank you for your mettle in so doing, your integrity in giving voice to the voiceless, your honesty in sounding the call over the threat to voting rights nationwide. Your dedication to our democracy lends strenth to all of us who are striving for the same just cause, and I myself among them. Thank you for your generous and luminous example. And happy, happry birthday! May your celebration be joyful.

As you know, the OIG Hotline has my full permission to access my email accounts at any time your Office so desires.

Most gratefully,
