1. Well this is certainly reassuring. 8 Authors Who Didn't Achieve Publishing Success Until Their 50s. Included is Laura Ingalls Wilder (The Little House Books) and Richard Adams (Watership Down).

I'm afraid to publish my book. Like most people who have been critical of others work, I don't take criticism well myself. The ultimate irony.

Also, my book is quirky. It's not conventional. And deals with some difficult topics.

2. This...is just weird: Preschool for Adults

The Brooklyn-based Preschool Mastermind, as it's called, is a preschool-type experience for adults. No, really. And according to its founder, there's show-and-tell, arts-and-crafts such as finger paint, games (think musical chairs) and even naps.

I realized all the implications of what we learn in preschool," said founder Michelle Joni, who said she went to school for childhood education and always wanted to be a preschool teacher. "People come here and get in touch with their inner child. It's magical."


The class runs through March and meets weekly. Joni was getting ready for tonight's class when we spoke. She facilitates the class with two assistants. There are six students in the class, each hoping to get something different out of the experience.

Adult preschool -- not unlike New York City's preschool's for children, doesn't come cheap. Payment for the class is on a sliding scale ranging from $333 to $999. Joni said that "preschool is all about choice. I want them [the students] to feel good about the choice they're making."

New Yorkers come from across the city to Michelle Jonis Brooklyn apartment to finger paint, sing, snack and nap.

Don't know what to think about it honestly.
