Mark Eitzel is new to me. I'll definitely check him out. Also, Christina Branco at Grant Park? Sign me up! It would be too cool if that were when Ms. RS were visiting, wouldn't it? I'm guessing it's not, but we should go anyway.

I really like this. The thread of home and its changing forms is great. Is it a part of something bigger? It could be? Writing workshop material!

I agree with Julia. A good beginning there.

I too miss having a room of my own, a room. somewhere I can go and make a mess and just shut the door, where I can leave a painting on an easel to dry, plaster of paris to set, or an unfinished garment to wait until I have the opportunity to do some more work on it. It seems unfair that my husband gets a place to work exclusively, but my end of the attic is also taken over by my son for his video games and school projects. I have warned the kids repeatedly that I'm taking over the room of the first one to move out as my studio.

I really love this entry and all of the persepectives on the rooms! It takes me back - gah, all those roomates and house mates and the joy of having a sanctuary of a room. I have a sanctuary of the whole friggin house right now and it's creeping me out:)

Ah,yes, what I wouldn't do for a room of my own. I really miss my first (and only) apartment that I had to myself. it wasn't a proper apartment (I had to wash dishes in the tub that was in the kitchen area) but it was all mine.

It's a normal sentiment. Everyone needs to travel. I like to say that my blood was injected with jet fuel when I was 11 years-old, and then when I met Big he lit it on fire; only the winds of travel keep the fire under control.

Wow, thanks for the nice comments. I'm not sure if this is going somewhere, but it's probably going in the pile of stuff to think about later (I think we need do that Chicago writing workshop!). It was actually just what I was lying in bed thinking about this morning as I tried to wake up enough to get my body in appropriate proximity to a pot of coffee.
