Dear Friends —
Sometimes real events impact even the restless fantasm of Magically Real. I will be finally receiving my MFA from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts in about 10 days. Thanks to the faculty, staff and fellow writers at the Whidbey Island Writers low residency program. I will be blogging again in a few weeks.
Keep it unreal…
