Went on an impromptu writers retreat in western mass with my favorites, took advantage of the last semblance of autumnal foliage, saw beavers glide on a lake, brainstormed the next script. Pictures by Ryan!

Finished the first draft of my first ever period piece as part of the writer’s residency I attended. I don’t want to look at it for at least a week, but I’m proud that it’s finished.
