new writing room organized

Today the two big lateral file cabinets I've ordered should arrive and I can start filing ALL my stuff!!!!! Poems, short stories, novel starts, memoirs, business stuff, etc.

Seems like an impossibility, really, but going to go for it so can stop wasting time chasing down papers scattered in boxes, drawers, cheap old vertical files of various sizes, etc.

preparing a place

The flooring is now in my upstairs "garret" after the installers pounded and sawed all day yesterday. I sit here at the computer, trying to get my brain around the task of now unpacking all those boxes of books and boxes of writing files!

Also, where to sit and write?

Whew! that was a long hiatus!

I'm back from a summer of moving to Auburn and taking a month-long trip to Europe! Got to get my new writing spot established and get rolling in my new writing group to finish that revision of House of Cuts! Think I will need yet another revision, actually, based on feedback from agent Verna Dreisbach, but hey, learning a lot regarding how to link character and plot.

Going to use the Cooperative Inquiry method for the first time with students in Delta's Creative Writing, Style, class, so that should be a juicy piece of learning.
