Atlantic Center for the Arts - Day 19
Forty-five pages of revisions. Thirty-one residency-written pages that have been through two drafts so far. Four novels read. Many, many lovely conversations. Group trip to a bar. Poetry, poetry - heard and read. One tarot reading. An enlarged writing community.
This is my list of residency accomplishments. Tonight is the big show in the theater where we all read. Gainesville gals will show up and then we'll kayak in Mosquito Lagoon tomorrow, and on Sunday I'll be home to my bathtub and television. Oh yeah, and to my friends, mother, and all the rest of my life. And to vote.
Sometimes you know, right in the very moment that it's happening, how happy you are.
Are you there? Are you OK? Resting? I am going into withdrawl for my favorite blogger. I know its only been 5 days.
I'm spoiled.
Terribly spoiled.

Thanks for all the great pictures and mini-profiles of ACA people. I didn't take pictures of anyone, so it was nice to be able to show my husband faces to match the names.
Hope you're settling back in--and enjoying the TV and the bathtub!
