Hi friends &
writers!
Having been in and around school for so long, I always feel
that September 1 is the REAL new year – the time to gather supplies for the
thinking/reading/writing year ahead, and to find ways to feel refreshed and ready
for the year to turn over.
How are you gearing up for autumn?

PROCESS: FRAMING THE
SPACE
If you don’t already have an office or writing space, this
is a wonderful time to set one up. It need not be elaborate: some books and a
flower in a vase on a cleared-off card table can be all you need.
Try this: If
you are office-less, ask yourself: where is your favorite space in your home?
Move around furniture to find a spot for a small desk. If you already have an
office, give it a fall clean so it feels like a welcoming place to work. If you
are a person on the run who needs only a notebook, consider ways to frame your
office anywhere – under a tree, at a café, in a (parked) car.
FEATURED VENUE: CIRQUE
Cirque, published in Anchorage, Alaska, showcases stories, poems, plays,
translations, and artwork from the Pacific North Rim (including, of course,
Idaho). Their mission is to share the region’s best writing with the rest of
the world, and their deadline for the next issue is September 21.
