Writing for the Walrus

September 19, 2011, 8:46 pm

Last March or April, I had developed a pitch about the dancer Peggy Baker for The Walrus. For some reason beyond recall, I did not send the pitch off right away. In fact, I waited until mid-July before even showing it to my friend. After he read it and encouraged me to send it in right away, I decided the worst and the most likely that could happen would be rejection and so I did it. So just prior to our vacation at the end of August, I heard they wanted the story. Last week, I met with an editor from the magazine and I have a six-week deadline to deliver a 2,000 word article. Woohoo!

A New Look

August 9, 2011, 10:30 am

If you haven't frequented this site for some time, you might be surprised to see the updates and discover some content of which you may have been unaware.

I have also decided to begin blogging again. Ebb and Flow is a space for confluence in my written life. By bringing back the name of my first blog, I hope to reconnect with the energy, space, and thoughtfulness that I felt permeated those previous posts.

Welcome
