The comfy chair in my room — the room’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable, which is more important. 🙂 Also some writing games they had here, which I may check out at some point.

Finished teaching my morning session on plot, and I think I’m unscheduled for the rest of today, though I have to spend some time catching up on reading student manuscripts, and there are various optional activities I could attend throughout the day.

Settled in at Sienna Retreat Center for a week of novel workshop. Met the students, had orientation and dinner, played an icebreaker game. Yoga in the morning, then teaching plot. Bed now.

I don’t want to give anything away, since the book isn’t even out for another month, so I’ll avoid spoilers for now. And then, since my

Remember those poems I revised and submitted the other day? Delighted to note that they’ve been accepted! “I Let Go Her Hand, Deliberately” and “Pervasive” for an anthology titled Sing, Slivered Tongue: An Anthology of South Asian Women’s Poetry of Trauma, to be published by Yoda Press, New Delhi, India, which is an independent, feminist,

Well, this was delightful to come home to — my author copies of the new Feminist Press edition of On Strike Against God have arrived. I have to admit, it’s a thrill to see my essay on the same TOC as Russ’s work AND an interview with Delany. (I did my BA thesis on Delany,
