i leave for my writers residency soon. i feel excited and anxious and exhilarated all at the same time. keep reading the welcome letter over and over again: "The absence of distractions forces many women to face themselves as writers for the first time." i am so looking forward to it.

in honor, i am signing off of my blog, coming back in a month. there are a number of things i might discuss before going, like caster semenya, healthcare reform, or bronx princess, but it doesn't really matter -- i'm letting it go.

be well and read wisely. :)
