Trust Your Judgment (or, some final thoughts on the thesis, editing, and feedback)
My novel/thesis project is now at my university, on my advisor’s desk, and I am waiting on her final approval. What a journey! Two years ago, the thought of getting a master’s in writing was little more than a brief … Continue reading
Finished!
I suppose a book is never truly finished, but yesterday, I completed a solid draft of my novel/thesis project. There’s much more editing ahead; indeed, the binding copy is due in April, and I will have to revise based on … Continue reading

Slowing Down
I am a procrastinator for many things: housework, filling out the kids’ numerous school forms, scheduling appointments for myself, etc. With writing, too, I often put off a project until I must work on it, or else I am quite … Continue reading
The Artist’s Journey
This semester, I have designed a course examining creativity: what it is and how to develop it. Creativity and the artistic process are hard to define and difficult to study. However, within the context of this class, I will examine … Continue reading
Summer writing musings
I spent a lovely week in Mallorca, Spain, which is, in many ways, a place I consider home. I only lived there for a year, primarily to study Spanish, but it is a land that has haunted and inspired me … Continue reading
