LETTER FROM JOYCE April 28, 2012  Dear Friends, I’m writing this from a little cabin on the Russian River in Northern California, where I’ve come to hole up for a week in hopes of finishing the novel I’ve been working on over of the last many months. I learned long ago that when I need to get my most demanding work done, it’s a good idea to leave all the familiar aspects of home (including the things I love). So here I sit, by a little woodstove in the Redwoods, with my coffee pot and a bunch of post-it notes and file cards spread out around me, blasting seventies music (to get me in the mood of my characters) and wearing the same ratty sweater for the third day in a row. It’s been twenty-four hours since I set foot outside the door -- and I’m happy to say this is my favorite kind of writing weather: Rainy. Nobody here but me and my characters...

LETTER FROM JOYCE

Dear Friends,


I’m writing this from a little cabin on the Russian River in Northern California, where I’ve come to hole up for a week in hopes of finishing the novel I’ve been working on over of the last many months.  I learned long ago that when I need to get my most demanding work done, it’s a good idea to leave all the familiar aspects of home (including the things I love).  So here I sit, by a little woodstove in the Redwoods, with my coffee pot and a bunch of post-it notes and file cards spread out around me, blasting seventies music (to get me in the mood of my characters) and wearing the same ratty sweater for the third day in a row. It’s been twenty-four hours since I set foot outside the door -- and I’m happy to say this is my favorite kind of writing weather:  Rainy.  Nobody here but me and my characters...
