A Musical Interlude

Wordy Pursuits
I'm back, fresh(ish) from my annual writer's retreat in Michigan! I've had to miss the past two due to performance conflicts, so this one was especially needful.

Lost Time
It's both strange and wonderful, after a year of writing daily sonnets, not be be writing daily sonnets. One would think that my post-sonnet-project schedule would feel less daunting, and yet anybody who knows me well knows that I'm happiest when I'm busy doing things that I love. So I've been no less busy this … Continue reading Lost Time
