{Studio, Improvised}
During my VCCA residency, I wound up doing a lot of writing over at Sweet Briar’s library. Their quiet, wood-paneled browsing room gets flooded with daylight, and I loved working alongside all the lush color and texture of wood and textile. It wound up being a great space to escape and play through the long draft of the book’s new story.

This spring I’m down at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts for a residency. I’m already well into a long draft of the book’s second-to-last story. With all the bookwriting, there’s not a lot of mojo left for blog posts. But there are long walks to the Sweet Briar boathouse with its spindling floors and greening, weather-gnawed clapboards and the music of the lake on those old woodwind pilings. The perfect antidote to these lengthy days (and late nights) of writing.
