The days go by

I’m in the computer lab right now. I have about 10 minutes before I have to go to a reading (D I will call you when I get back to the hotel). The week has been hectic, overhwhelming, exhausting and illuminating. This progam, this residency has reinspired me to write more, write well, and to [...]

The E has landed

The flight out wasn’t a traumatizing as I thought it would be. I had a nice space between me and my next seat-mate. He read Harry Potter and napped. We shared the empty seat between us, he used it for storage, and I let my knees rest on the seat. I stared out the window [...]

Signing off

It’s time to take my shower, pack the rest of my things and go to dinner with my huzzie. I know I sound like an uber-sap, but I will miss him while I’m gone. But I look forward to reigniting my creative juices. I’m not jazzed about the plane though. At least, as of right [...]

when…..

  I have a lot of things to do before I head out tomorrow, but I’ve gotten a lot done already. I’ve contacted all the people I needed to regarding rooms, flights, etc. I’m working on my laundry, charging my gadgets and ripping movies to put on my PSP. It’s much more affordable than buying [...]

This is your head…

This is your head when you are trying to move across the country in less than a week with a living room full of boxes and a million things to do while trying to plan all the goodbyes and somehow fit in some writing otherwise you will got absolutely apeshit (and if anyone from Seton [...]

The days tick….

I am sitting in my room now, trying to get sleepy. It’s been hard today. I’m overwhelmed, hungry and hormonal. Good time to be bi-polar, eh? There’s a lot going on, and I felt like the world and deadlines were swallowing me, so I came back to the dorm, read through a story or two [...]

Seton Hill…day 2

I got here last night, but we just had orientation and dinner. It was fun and quite inspiring. When I arrived, it was raining, but the drive up to the school itself is awe-inspiring. A tunnel of trees sheltered the street, and my first view of the school was the administrative building, which is by [...]

I become a master

Seton Hill looms. I’m nervous because I’m not sure where to go when I get to campus. I will write about the weekend and my last day at work. For now, I’m going to try to get my brain settled enough to rest. It’s going to  be a long night. There is rain in the [...]

Liberty Street

This is the story I submitted to Seton Hill. I meant to post it weeks ago. Please remember that I totally turned this in at the last minute, that there are grammar and plot issues, and that the point of view shifts. It’s a work in progress, after all, and although I am disappointed in [...]

6 weeks and counting

It’s rushing up on me, this lack of time. I’ve resisted disassembling the house, trying to sift through the stuff, to find the proper box for this and the right packing material for that. For the first time in a long time, I’m considering the wooden trunk. Full of old journals (when I was super-tragic) [...]

Bits of it

Suitcases – I had the best suitcase ever. One of those older, blue ones with flipping latches and a shell so indestructible that I could lean on the side without it buckling. It wasn’t cool enough to be vintage — and after looking around at various sites, I think it can place it in the [...]

Ready — set — GO!

Busy busy busy…. I have to pull a 10 page work out of my ass by Friday for Seton Hill. For some reason it seems different. I can’t procrastinate, although I already have, and I feel bad for not getting on this assignment sooner. It’s going to be my introdution to my classmates, and they [...]

Eye — dee — errrs….

I’ve been digging through my imagination for an idea for the first peice I am writing for Seton Hill. In order to get us familiar with the process, we are submitting a short work (I think 5 pages) to the critique group before we meet in June. I’m assuming that I am supposed to come [...]

Little discoveries

Now that I have hair, and since Christy gave me my first cut in over a year, I’ve been trying to find the right “goop” to make my hair happy. Gel drys my hair out. Crunchy is good for cereal and crackers, not for hair. My anti-frizz stuff makes my hair shiney, but my waves [...]

It just gets better…

I just found out that I was selected for the “Scholar’s Discount.” What does this mean? I get 20% off my tuition…. think of it as a scholarship for really dorky people. Remeber that god awful question that I had to answer? “If you had to invite three people to dinner, that you don’t know, [...]

Dreams are coming true

When I was little, when I read fairy tales and wandered through the woods looking for gnomes, I wanted to write about it all. As I grew up, I never lost that longing for the fantastical. And today, my dream came true. I GOT ACCEPTED TO SETON HILL!!!! I am going to be a genre [...]
