It was a very good year….
An essay about aging
and my thoughts on midlife crisis in the Washington Post
A submission a day and a novel in a month
Conference fun
Retreat dinners and fellowship
Readings
Activism
Mindfulness
And my most beloved sprint friends.
2017 was also a sad year…
I lost my friend Josh, who was funny and smart and a rascal, and who helped me research all things Delaware. 
I said goodbye to my father and wrote a tribute to him.
What will 2018 bring? We’ll have to see, and I hope we’ll share it together, either in person or virtually.
Happy New Year, my friends! May the next year bring only good things.
A few days ago, I wrote a year in review post. I listed my 2016 accomplishments (Masters Fellowship in Fiction!), raved over writing retreats (all 6 of them!), and boasted about organizing a literary reading series that placed poets and prose writers in historical sites (5 venues and 22 artists—argh!)
