Mid-Week Field Notes–May 18, 2022

Field Notes

Some very quick things:

1. I’m thinking about what I want to write in the future. Should I continue to write kidlit or go strictly adult literary? Do I continue to write novels in verse or maybe try a graphic novel? Or just stick with prose? Does anyone else struggle with this?
2. I didn’t get into a US Holocaust Memorial Museum alumni fellowship program and the Bergen-Belsen Perpetrator Summer School didn’t have a sufficient number of applicants for 2022, so this frees up my July to whip my current work-in-progress into shape. The manuscript is due to the editor in October.
3. There’s still room in the Amherst Writers & Artists Write Around the World campaign to Writing the Past with me on May 26, 7-9 pm ET. If that doesn’t interest you, check the whole schedule and donate to a social justice initiative.
