A Few Words from Recovery…
Posted by Jeff Evans in Grad School, Uncategorized on July 5, 2013
No, not that kind… not directly, anyway. My MFA residency was last week, which involved two days of 9-hour road-tripping (one day up, one day back). On top of that, add in a few days before that where I was recovering from some kind of crud (that recovery, mind, overlapped a few days of the residency and the drive north), while dealing with some other family issues, in addition to the 4th of July holiday… and it’s been a busy two weeks for me.
After getting home Monday, I’m only now really feeling caught up/back to normal on sleep patterns. I have notes that I would like to write – recapping events from the Residency (not to mention clearing a slew of draft posts that I’ve been meaning to write for a while).
While I’ve not written anything significant (read: for the thesis) since getting back, I’ve gotten a mental second-wind… I’ve found a degree of excitement that was lacking for most of the last few months, and was especially vacant during the lead into this past semester. I’ve been thinking a lot about not only my thesis project ([theatrically] blocking out several of the key-scenes-still-to-come), but also the short story that I had turned in for the Residency workshopping.
So, I’m still here, and getting back to normal. Expect more soon…
