Some very cool news: The National Book Foundation just announced that Smith's autobiography "Just Kids," covering her years as muse to photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, won a National Book Award this year in the non-fiction category.
More winners here.
Add: Smith recently told Galleycat that writing is like exercise.

Yes blogging counts!
Oh, love just ain't enough? :)
Thank you! Somehow the winners went right by me this year.... but now I know!!
I should pick it up:)
hell yes, blogging counts. i can't seem to do it everyday. i planned to create something everyday, and can't seem to do that either.
i did see a Mapplethorpe show in Cincinnati years ago. perhaps you remember the opening? when the musuem curator was arrested for pornography? so ridiculous
