Dear Kristen, thank you for writing about Sage Hill and the wonderful way that Bonnie Burnard was able to see something in your project and suggest there was a novel there. Mentors like her are so wonderful. My mentor at Sage Hill was David Carpenter and he was equally encouraging and lovely.
So cinematic! “As a young, single woman, living alone and working at a flower shop, I used to tuck my manuscript into my bag when I headed off to work on the streetcar, and I'd write the whole way, and then again the whole way home. In the evening, I'd write again.” It’s always interesting to hear how writing practices change with time and life circumstances--thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this Laurie! Yes, great memories of that place and its people
