It's very telling, the things we procrastinate over. I LOVE, love, love writing: it is largely what I've tethered my life to. Yet my ability to find ANYTHING other than writing to do when I should be writing is pretty remarkable. And while I had every intention of launching this here little blog in August, I found 31 reasons during the month of August to not do that. But I had created a built in deadline in the form of pretty blue and black business cards. I got them for next month's Litquake (Litquake = awesome, as well as a week long literary festival, the largest on the west coast). I'm a repeat volunteer and ordered my business cards specifically for the purpose of being able to connect with other writers I meet that week. (By the way, if you've never ordered business cards that you designed yourself, and allowed yourself to assign yourself a title - I chose Writer - I recommend you do just this. It's delightful). I put this website on the bus
"In the midst of winter I found in me an Invincible Summer." - Camus ...On exploring strength in its many forms: strong people, strong writing, strong curiosity, obsessions, stances, and loves. Strength as a concept wide enough to encompass fear, truth, vulnerability, and joy.
