Iowa Workshop

I'm in Iowa City right now at the University of Iowa taking a workshop on revising a novel. Unfortunately, I think the only thing I'm really learning is that I have a long, long way to go on this book I've already been working on for three years!

It's good to have some uninterrupted time to think about the creative aspects of my life and, despite staying at the shabby on-campus hotel that is waiting for FEMA money to remodel after a flood, I'm enjoying myself.

But to tell the truth, I don't do as well with too much time to think. I get more accomplished when I have to fit that thinking in between a busy schedule. So Saturday I'll head back to Michigan and do just that. (And give up that self-imposed schedule of finishing my novel this summer.)
