Hello, beautiful!
I hope you haven’t missed me too much! I’m sorry to have been away for so long. I was enjoying my Summer, and yes, writing.
This past May and June, I had the rare privilege of hearing Jason Reynolds (who’s winning all the things right now) give two graduation addresses, and they were both very profound, in different ways. One was for Lesley University’s graduate commencement, and the other was at graduation for the semester-after-mine’s graduation ceremony at the MFA program I went to.
The gist of his second second speech at the MFA graduation was that as writers, we are not chosen, we choose to write.
I seem to keep firing up Word. I’ve either been actively writing or thinking about what I’ve been writing this whole summer. I feel like I’m doing the thing. I’m not going to analyze that too deeply right now, but… thing.
And I will be starting up my second season of this blog the first week of October.
Keep watching!
