I'm 66 and happy to be an Oldster...

Looking forward to teaching at @FWRAsheville this fall. Check out the fall classes. #writing #NorthCarolina #asheville

Since the day in my closet, I also spent a day decluttering my study, which wasn't long enough to finish... but these beautiful books that I relied on the most when writing The Art of Her Life are no longer in a pile on the floor. #TheArtofHerLife #matisse #stacksofbooks

Please join Heather Newton & @ADeWittauthor & me at @Malaprops for a conversation abt what our days really look like with grown kids and spouses and writing and how we find time to ourselves or not... #Asheville 4 wks from today. Join us! #TheArtofHerLife

How we spend our days…

The next writer in the How We Spend Our Days series is @bournewriter "[F]or the first time in years a woman I knew and liked was looking at me in a way that suggested I might not always have to be alone" #BlithedaleCanyon @RegalHouse1 howwespendourdays.substack.c… #writers #days #lives

6:00 this morning. I forgot I took it until a minute ago. Despite the way it looks, the storm did not amount to much although the wind shifted at some point when I wasn’t paying attention and the floor got a good drenching. #provincetown

I write a letter each month. Today's starts: "The 5 oldest grandchildren are visiting-ages 12 to 4-along with their families. They swarm through the house and outside and then in again. It’s not quite 8 am yet, and only the two youngest are awake.” mailchi.mp/48e74a2c3ab7/lets…

Attic and playroom done. #greatdeclutter

Last week of June--happy pride.
