Have seen great readings: Wells Tower, a mind-blowing performance on said topic by Dorothy Allison, Elliott, etc...
Feels like I have found my tribe...
Two weeks ago, I attended a residency at Hambidge. Finished the final ten percent of UnReformed. Next up... revise, revise, revise.
Finishing fulfills the last promise I made Vic Chesnutt. I wish he were here every single day.
Three years ago, he wrote me a recommendation. Whenever I feel lost, he guides me back.
"She's working on an ambitious psychological memoir project
about her teenage years as a rebellious daughter of a Mississippi doctor sent
off to a brutal Christian reform school in the Dominican Republic. Now a
schoolteacher with her own son in grade school and with the political tenor of
the times, her story has a fresh relevance informing a shadowy current surging
through fundamentalist Christianity in the American south."
Wow, what a recommendation. Keep going... you can do it. xo
