Just returned to LA from 2 glorious weeks at the Sewanee Writers’ Conference where, along with these amazing folks, I got to be a Fellow. Which, essentially meant, having a workshop with Beth Henley and Dan O’Brien, eating my monthly allotments of fried chicken and pulled pork, and learning what I need to do next with my newest play DISCOVERY — the same play I started at Djerassi. For more in-depth, less food-focused, descriptions, check out Cody Walker at the Kenyon Review or Clifford Garstang.
I will miss the fireflies and cicadas and the way it started raining out of nowhere (hell, the way it started raining, period). And I’m so grateful to Sewanee and my fellow Fellows and workshop participants for making it a great two weeks. Thanks, y’all!
