    Cold Nights and Short Days

    As the New England winter starts to draw icy circles in the landscape, I am reminded of how thankful I was for the sunshine of the summer. I already miss the warmth.  This Saturday I attended and participated in the Concord, NH Art Market with my sister and brother-in-law.  While the wind nearly took the tent away, it was great to get out and meet new people and see what other artists were up to.

    I have submitted to both Snow Monkey, and The Virginia Quarterly Review.  I am still waiting to hear from Snow Monkey, but The Virginia Quarterly Review sent a very nice form rejection.  There are days when that sort of thing will drive me to submit more, and days when it just makes me feel a little blue.  I guess that is the way of it.

    I am teaching a class right now on writing and hand made books.  It’s a small but good group of ladies.  I always love the start of a new class.  Everyone is so excited, and eager to learn.  That usually fades in traditional classes, but when you are teaching adults in a non-credit course it seems to last a little longer. My favorite part of the process of teaching a class is the way a group can inspire you to create.  I have been more productive since I started the course last week than I have all month.

    Well, I have no sage advice this time around, but peace and happiness to everyone.

    Ivy

      Are you more productive because of the class or because you have a packet due and are feeling the pressure?!
