What I look like when very happy

 

With my baby in 2015

In silence, the space

Residences are very quiet. This is by design. The signs around here say WRITERS AT WORK! And we are. Right now I have a YouTube mix on, playing very quietly, and I can hear the sounds of squirrels rustling through the leaves and cars passing. 

The idea is to get the sound of your own head. It's starting to take effect.

Writing, the lonely pursuit

I forgot that I would get anxious at these residences, that the wealth of time and paucity of structure would make the day yawn away. Especially at MacDowell, where the town of Peterborough lay down a daunting hill and isolation sat atop. 

But that was a decade ago. I've learned the value of time and attention. I'm getting the most I can out of this week.

Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow

 

Tulsa

I'm here on my way to Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow. I'm staying in this crazy AirBnb and right now am at an amazing coffeeshop (Berkeley, take note: you don't have anything like this) right next to the 24-7 dispensary. Dang.

Screw the ball, give me kisses!
