The view out my office window is one of a tree-lined parking lot. It is a view I find surprisingly beautiful on most days because it means I am sitting in my office on a university campus, typing on my computer. Today is no different.
I will admit that I'm buoyed by the news of my forthcoming publication but will also say that I just finished reading a wonderful nonfiction piece by Annie Dillard that makes me want to sit down in the chair and write. Her piece "Introduction: Notes for Young Writers" from In Fact: The Best of Creative Nonfiction is exactly what I needed to hear today and so I tell you that I'm going to hit the page and see what happens. Today is a writing day and, God, am I glad.
