Snap Crafts Nonfiction for 'Tweens
 This summer, I'm writing a couple "How To" books for a local school library publisher. The executed contracts arrived last week, so maybe the project will actually see print! It's best to stay flexible (schedules can change) but I'm feeling hopeful for Spring 2011. Check back for more about Snap nonfiction.

Anderson Center Residency August 2009
 "The Anderson Center holds the distinction of being the only center of its kind in the Upper Midwest and one of the very few in the United States that brings together such a varied group of people -- painters, archaeologists, sculptors, writers, historians, dancers, photographers, printmakers, composers, translators, and anthropologists -- from throughout the United States and abroad."
Every year, in August, the Center makes available private time and space for work on a substantive project--and this year, it's one of mine!

This winter, I flirted (briefly) with Suite 101.
I appreciate your visit!

Journal Excerpt
 he space was a dream. Nine hundred square feet with twelve foot ceilings, exposed brick and beams, and hardwood floors. If I met the income guidelines, and the property manager accepted my application, a selection committee had the final authority to approve or reject me. There was poetry written in the stairwells of Tilsner: "Peace is a notion of constant adjustment." I didn't know the name of the thinker who wrote it, but it felt like a month of constant adjustment while I waited to hear about the loft.
An oldies station got me through the last few days when it seemed I might be homeless. Music took me back to reckless years when there was plenty of time for success. The property manager delayed an answer until the Friday afternoon before the move. I signed the lease at 2:30 p.m. and made a last trip to Goodwill singing, "Take it...to the limit...one more time."
