  • 2018-01-02 MFA Residency Day 4 – How Much Is Too Much

    Yesterday I was waking up in my own bed and today I’m back at the lodge, deep in heart and soul of the story. We’re almost at the midpoint now. I’ve got pages of notes and miles and miles of thought. In my life I never dreamed one could have too much input. The brain…

  • 2018-01-01 Ringing In My Ears

    It must be New Years, because there’s ringing in my ears. It’s a nice departure from all those songs that are always stuck in my head. Truth. As I comb through some of my poetry to decide what’s good, bad, worthy, worth giving another look, or just plain ready for the “X-file”, I’m noticing more…

  • 2017-12-31 Sunday Status Update – NYE Style

    Which is to say. I’m dropping the ball. I’m exhausted and my mind is in a fog which seems to be swirling in a manor very unnatural to fog. It’s speed more like clouds foreshadowing a tornado. I have so much information and inspiration that has been dropped on me these past three days that…

  • 2017-12-31 MFA Residency Day 3 – Space and Time Matter

    I broke away from the pack about 2:30 and took my leave of this building with a dual purpose in mind. I wanted to relieve myself of the claustrophobia of being hold-up in a somewhat confined space surrounded by freezing temperatures outside and I also needed to get tights or leggings for my outfit tomorrow.…

  • 2017-12-29 MFA Residency Day 2 – First Impressions

    Yesterday went like this… Get up, treadmill, shower, eat, orientation, workshop, eat, lecture, lecture, lecture, eat, faculty reading, next day prep, go to bed. It was a lot to soak in. I enjoyed the lecture on short story writing and one proven formula to utilize for success, but my favorite was the one about poetry.…

  • 2017-12-29 MFA Residency Day 1

    Everything yesterday went very much according to plan. I arrived at my destination around 4:15PM and was all checked into my room by 5. That left me with about an hour to wander around the lodge and figure out where all the cool kids hang out. The Lied Lodge is nestled in a woody area…

  • 2017-12-28 You’re Just Not That Into Me

    I’ve been contemplating what to say to the guy I’ve been “dating” for five months now. I’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks. I even wrote a poem about it (don’t worry, I’ll keep that shit to myself). Severing ties, even the loose ones, can be tricky. I did it with Adam, but…

  • 2017-12-28 It’s Finally Here

    I was up just past 5AM and spent about 25 minutes on trolling through useless social media streams. Truly a waste of time. I spent another 15 minutes looking for a new domain name to play with during my AWS courses. I spent another 15 minutes applying updates to my laptop which I have been…
