how I spent my writer’s vacation.

March 30th, 2011 · 10 Comments · Uncategorized

I live in Montana; it’s fucking stupid beautiful. “The last best place,” important writers have said.

Dear Diary, The alarm went off at 8:30 or something. I read act IV of Hamlet on my kindle next to a crabby, sleepy bear. I think his stomach hurt; I don’t know. It snowed all yesterday and this morning and then got a little warmer. Slush. Everybody hates the weather. We (the great collective [...]
