Eurydice just arrived at the collective where she's the writer-in-residence for the next three months, and the coastal setting (lighthouse, baskets of hanging fuchsia) have me a little homesick for the California coast. The people in Eydie's new town are just so nice, compared to the people in Hell.
Letterlady wasn't familiar with the name of fuchsia flowers, so I've included an example here for everyone's botanical edification.

Hey, Freewoman. Have surfaced from the end of the first week of the SI, and what a great community of new teacher-writers/writer-teachers we have. Just read through your whole archive of posts. So jealous, and really inspired. Went to the FFT site, and Poudre School District is not on their list of approved teacher collectives. Disgusted! Will have to investigate. Jason, Cindy, Cam, Craig, and Donna send their love, as do I. We are actually trying to maintain a secret staff blog, so that we can get some freakin' writing done.
So proud of you for the novel. Think of your poem-a-day goal every day, and finished a couple things I really like this week. New stuff! Learned this week from a much-published participant that you have to trick yourself into writing. He should know.
Enjoy, revel, rest, write. My wishes for you.
One other thing. Just found this site and posted it at the CSUWP site. It's fun. Click on the links on the left to see many examples. Really makes me want to pull a book off the shelf, rip out a page, and color it with crayons while circling and boxing assertive words.
