I owe e-mails. If you've e-mailed me and haven't received a response it's not because I am not thinking of you or don't love you or you wrote something that annoyed me... it's because I'm still putting life back together again.

Clarion West was amazing and did incredible things for my writing. It also gave me time away from my usual life to ponder over things that have been troubling me for some time, but whilst being in the thick of things I wasn't able to process everything. Clarion West gave me the time away to do that.

It literally changed my life and changed me in so many ways.

It is one of the best things I have ever done, but oh, it's hard coming home, just for starters.

I keep dreaming I'm back there or we'll be back together again next summer.

But I love you all, and I'll be in touch. Just be patient.
