field notes:

5.24.2005

You wonder what has happened to me.

It has been a time of transitions.

For one, my life has become something more private. I want to hold more back of myself and my loved one. Writing in such a public way has not been inviting for me. This may change as I redefine the places from which I write.

Also, I spend more time away from Inverness. I live in Berkeley part-time. My relationship with this place has become time-broken and almost nostalgic. I haven’t stopped loving it, but am preparing to leave it. I wanted to write about that tearing away, but haven’t had the heart to do so until now.

What energy I have had for writing I’ve put into fiction. I hope to notify you of release dates of some upcoming publications—anthologies that will include my work.

I’m hoping that today signals a return to field-notes. I miss blogging, this misunderstood exodus of ideas and emotions, the quiet return notes. It’s a way of being known that has profoundly shaped my life for the past three years.

Meanwhile, here’s what I was up to last week: www.pulseofscience.org/events/dreamsevent
