Hello!
This is the first paragraph of the first blog of my life. Since January, I've travelled to sandy islands in the South China Sea; watched fires in sugar cane fields at dawn; rode a bumpy jeepney gathering family members from the road to a family reunion on the other side of a Philippine province; climbed an extinct volcano on the island of Lanzarote, off the coast of Africa; and now I'm in Wyoming, typing from a cabin.
I'm currently doing a writing residency at the wonderful Ucross Foundation. I have a great studio on the first floor of the building I live in. I have the view of a field dotted with cotttonwood trees--high plains ecosystem, I think. The land stretches all around me--23,000 acres owned by the ranch, alone. I'm finishing up a script and a novel. On page 70 of the script, and when I reach p. 120, I'll go back to the book.
When I was in the Philippines, I wanted to write a day-to-day blog about my adventures. But alas! The only internet connection was in the bayan, the town, a few miles away. I had to content myself with the luxury of writing on a laptop.
There'll be more news. But welcome, welcome, all!
Peace--
