Back from another world

I'm back in the "real world" after a week away at Murray State University's Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program. Wow! That's a mouthful.

The week was filled with writing workshops, lectures and readings from authors Lee Martin (nonfiction and fiction), George Singleton (fiction) and Kentucky's own George Ella Lyon (multi-tasking writer/teacher/singer). The two weeks each year at school are exciting but exhausting. We generally ran from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. or later with extended meal breaks. Plus, we had homework every night. My next (and hopefully final) residency will be in January.

I hope to resume posting sometime this week so bear with me.
