I am leaving tonight for my residency at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. I am so excited to have a span of days to do nothing but write. I have been spreading myself thin lately, and my writing has become fairly anemic as a result. This time in Virginia should help make it more robust again.

I am going to try to go on a media diet while I'm there (I loved Shalom Auslander's recent column about how the media affects his writing process) and severely limit my time online. So if I blog between now and October 25, please give me a kick in the butt and tell me to get back to work!

See you when I return...
