imagination
i am a lucky girl. not only has my posture improved over the past week, but i also got to spin out a week of my life at cleveland state’s imagination workshop. for those of you who are turning up your noses and thinking–writing in cleveland, it’s not possible–think again. neal chandler, director, is a genius. and meeting josip novakovich was beyond delightful: the man is hilarious in a sort of deadpan eastern european way. my list of books developed a sort of bunnies-mating quality. and i’m even more determined to get a few essays out as soon as reading periods open again in september. it’s a pleasant little time-warp to feel like a student and a writer again after so many days of playing at the park and reading sandra boynton. so, all of you with dreams, give yourself at least a week to dabble in them. you’ll walk a little taller.

Jessie,
I didn’t know you were pregnant! Congratulations! How far along are you? I hope it’s okay that “peeked in” on your blog and found out.
And that’s so great that you got to spend a week doing something you love! I wish I was a good writer. Glad you’re walking taller these days.
O me too, that sounds wonderful. and I am going to call you- to day.
I concur; Neal Chandler is a genius. I am officially jealous.
That sounds so divine. And I agree about the posture–dream-following is better than a chiropractor.
