Instead, I have temporarily deserted you and experienced the last whirlwind month without you in my front pocket. What a terrible, negligent virtual pal I have been. I have been ensconced in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m officially FUCT (like it? I just thought of it)&#8211;a freelance, urban, cat-owning thirty-something.* Yes, going full-frontal freelance, instead of just dabbling as I have over the years (since the first dot-com boom left me gobsmackingly underemployed and staring down the face of bills).

During my stay at Hedgebrook (post on that TK, I swear), I had the pleasure of being in residence with a group of amazingly rad writers, most of whom were working in literary fiction (with the notable [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of it (on plagues, pandemics, and public health) as I work on this draft of the novel (if you&#8217;re remotely curious, I&#8217;ve been keeping a running bibliography on what I&#8217;m reading for the novel over here).

This jives really nicely with the second blog post I&#8217;ve been tinkering at, on saving monies: part deux. Anyway, free classes. On interesting stuff. Really.
