I was trying to play it super […]
“trying to write everywhere, anytime”
Writing Spaces I live in a very small house in the Yukon with my husband, two children, and dog. There are two bedrooms, each just slightly bigger than a station wagon. We affectionately call one of these rooms the Swiss Army Knife Room. It has a Murphy bed, a clothes rack on a pulley system […]
“a Virginia Woolf room of my own”
