![]() After a tough spring and summer (losing our little one, a crazy busy season) we’re drying our wings in the sun... On the Road, working remotely, sleeping in fields... as we drive our new motorcycle (with sidecar!) from Oregon home to South Carolina, via national parks, crazy byways and one library hot spot after another. Filling up with new stories, taking the space just to think, explore and be close. I'm (erratically) posting our travel journal on Insta: @sidecarsideshow :) With the Ural’s top speed around 55 mph... we’re gonna be on the road quite a while. Lately I'm doing more thinking than writing, but have been ‘getting’ some plot pieces I’ve needed for the novel I’ve been obsessing over since I was on residency three years ago, before I started working with Andrew. In my previous role (purchasing) at the company, it was easier to write short stories rather than novels, but they’ve now moved me into a more expansive position that opens up the whole world. It changes everything. I’m so excited, and so grateful, to be warm again. Here’s to lightness, love and freedom: may they be yours. |
