Oh, John Cleese. From Fawlty to Wanda you’ve always been a joy to watch, and your words of wisdom inspire me still. I agree, a 22-inch waist would solve all of my creativity problems, and then some. ;-)

Soho

Shelter Island

My summers used to be spent in the typical New York duality. Manhattan to Long Island’s East End. As a child and teen, I’d languish for hours at the basketball courts, diners, and brownstone stoops of the Upper East and West sides with friends. From one island to the other, I’d lounge on the beaches of Shelter Island with my parents. On sunny days, we’d read by the shore and flop around on boogie boards until the sun abandoned us. Then we’d go back to the house, wash off the sand, and grill on the porch or dip lobster legs into plastic shot glasses of butter at Bob’s restaurant. My washed hair drying over my bronzed shoulders.

All that’s nostalgia, for now - until I have a family of my own and recreate the tradition. We sold the house on Shelter Island when I was in college. Although my heels continue to stomp upon the melting tar of the city streets, they rarely dive into the shores off Long Island anymore.

Thankfully, this summer will have an experience both familiar and new. I was accepted to the summer writing programs at Sarah Lawrence College and Stony Brook Southampton. What a lifesaver!! For a week in June, I’ll be dorming up in Bronxville, workshopping my short fiction with Nelly Reifler at SLC. Although it’s creepily picturesque there, I’ll happily make do. For 5-10 days in July, I’ll either workshop with Melissa Bank or Meg Wolitzer out in Southampton.

Going to Southampton feels like a triumphant return to the East End. The sweetest part is that I’m returning as an adult, on my own, instead of in the backseat of my parents’ Cadillac, gripping a paper plate out in front of me, pretending it’s a steering wheel and mimicking my dad’s every turn.

Long time, no blog. I didn’t get into Hunter. That was the only school where I applied. I cried for a few days after Hunter’s email came in. I told my boyfriend to break up with me - I’m his aging girlfriend who isn’t talented enough to go to school. He bought me candy.
