Please come out and support me and my classmates. We’ve all worked really hard this semester, and we can’t wait to share our beautiful new books with you. In addition to getting to hear us read some of our work, we’ll also have our books for sale, so bring some cash or your checkbook.

Snowy Day

Blizzard in Baltimore. Or so the headlines say. Needless to say, the snow is coming down quickly outside. There’s something about it that matches my mood. Having just wrapped up another semester and preparing to head to New Mexico on Monday, I’m seizing the weekend for the quiet it offers, a pause in the midst of the seasonal rush.

I have so many things I want and need to do; photos of my newest books to post, my brother’s senior portraits to edit, Christmas gifts to be made and wrapped, holiday cards to finish and mail, a house to be cleaned. But as this snow blankets the neighborhood–piling up and cars, curling into door frames, whirling past windows–I’m wrapping up in a robe, pouring a mug of tea, popping on a movie, and ignoring it all for awhile. Call it a mini hibernation, if you will. Whatever it is, I’m pretty thrilled about it.

I’ve got wheels of polished steel

I’ve got tires that grab the road…

Got to see Cake this weekend at Artscape. It was fantastic. More from me later (when I’m not perilously close to being late for work), as I’m officially out of school!
