Before long, I may get back to posting more regularly. My memoir class finishes soon. No other big projects loom. So it will make sense to come back here. But I feel different. Stronger, perhaps. The break restored me after my marathon writing about the sexual abuse, etc. That took much of my energy, and left me feeling like there was little left to tell.

There is much to tell, of course. As long as there remain sentences which have never been written, there is more to write. To pen my thoughts has become such a vital part of my life, in fact, that I am thinking of going to graduate school to learn to write better. I’m exploring programs, preparing applications. The best schools are out of state, and probably out of my reach anyway. The ‘low-residency’ schools, where you only spend two weeks at the place once or twice a year, are more in line with what I want, anyway. Moving at this stage seems unlikely. And even the constraint of traveling to class several times a week would prevent us from coming here to Yosemite as often as we like. The low residency are expensive (the best full-time programs provide funding,) and I don’t know my chances of acceptance. So whether this happens or not is still a very open question. But that’s my current aspiration, in case anyone is reading, and in case you are interested.

This little post is just a warm-up. It breaks the barrier between not working on this blog, versus starting in again. So now I’ve written something. Now, I hope, it will be easier to open the site and post. It is high time I went around to everyone else’s site, even if I don’t get going here again. I’ve missed you.
