All:  traffic over the summer was admittedly slow:  I was on vacation for two weeks in Costa Rica, and I just got done auditing our very own Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference.  It was an incredible experience, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to become a better writer.  Wonderful faculty with incredible lectures and readings, plenty of talent and an all-in-all incredible program!  That finishing just this past weekend, I’m back in the office, and planning my upcoming travel to NYC and Boston.  Posts should resume more frequently.
