animal crackers

I was going through some old photographs tonight and came across a few that I shot of two stuffed animals who appeared, for no apparent rhyme or reason, tacked up to the wall behind my building.

I call this one Violators Will Be Persecuted.

Then one day, some balloons showed up. So this one is called Guantanamo Holiday.

I know. I need help.

Amtrak Residency for Writers

It's been a big week over here in terms of applying for artistic residencies. One of my favorites in the stack: the application for #AmtrakResidency. If you're a fellow writer, you can apply, too. Here's to riding the rails and getting stuff done.

Check out my interview on the Wide Eyed Productions blog this week. Topics: Joining the League of Professional Theatre Women, being named as an Indie Theatre Now Person of the Year for 2013, and my thoughts on building a creative community. 

tip of the iceberg

Uptown Manhattan: There are a couple of spots left for Danielle Lazarin's eight-week fiction class that kicks off on February 5, 2014 at Inwood's own Bread and Yoga. Her work last appeared in the literary magazine Glimmer Train, and she's kind of awesome. Get in there, and tell her I sent you.

adventures in non-narrative filmmaking

Jumped out of my comfort zone and took an experimental video workshop in the vein of Kurt Kren and Stan Brakhage over the weekend at Wave Hill. It's the first foray I've made into this sort of thing. There's a lot of room for improvement, obviously, but I was happy with it. Here's to continued experimentation.

The Center for Fiction

My new favorite place for inspiration. It also serves as a very convenient place to kill time in midtown Manhattan on my lunch hour. A great resource for writers and lovers of fiction. Learn all about it here.
