Uncertain

With blue, uncertain, stumbling buzz . . . This line of Dickinson’s (the image to the left is a manuscript page from the Amherst College Digital collections) is so much fun to say–it’s on repeat in my head.

After chanting it thousands of times, the word “uncertain” stands out–hesitant, sputtering, disruptive fly, but also an apt description of my writing life, and one of the reasons I’m so bad with social media. My hope is that the longer format of the blog will help me to spread out and feel at ease as I stumble through what’s happening in my mind and life.

Welcome!
