I am doing a little tidying up of sites and pages, and realized how long it’s been since I’ve updated the “notes” section of this page. Three years! Hello!
I did not, it turns out, write my last novel. I am persistently, and devotedly, working on a new one. In it there is a lake and a ghost and multiple generations of women artists; I am smitten. I am also teaching at Vermont College of Fine Arts in their MFA in Writing Program, teaching classes and workshops at Word House Vermont, and writing essays and book reviews here and there (specifically Orion Magazine and Scientific American).
The writing life is long and winding and I never take it for granted that I get to do this in my life. Not for money, per se, but for meaning, and pleasure, and community, and joy. I hope you get to do the things that help you find those gifts also.
More soon, dear ones—
R
