It’s difficult to believe it’s been six months, but here I am again and this time, no snow on the ground. Green grass, blue skies, and flowers blooming. 60 degrees right now with a projected high of 66.
I arrived Monday afternoon and we started right in with a lecture by David Jauss on how to know when you’re done with a piece of writing. Connie May Fowler, a new faculty member, read Monday evening from her new novel, How Clarissa Burden Learned To Fly. She read a scene that included the point of view of a fly. And yesterday a fascinating lecture by Doug Glover on symbols and image patterns–more on that later.
In fact, more on everything later. Off to another lecture…
A high of 66 is unimaginable for me. We are battling 116 degrees here in the high desert, nothing new, really. Good thing for modern technology & a/c.
Enjoy your classes, wish I could attend them with you!! Most of my research & writing these days happens in between potty training my 3 yr old and choreographing dinner!
Terresa, it is heaven here. The weather and the lectures and readings–and not choreographing dinner : )
I deeply envy you getting to work with with David Jauss. I’ve been reading his wonderful craft essays for years.
Kim, I’m really looking forward to working with him and to reading his creative work as well.
