I’ve been working most weekends these past few months on some freelance projects, but getting to work out here certainly helps.
So far, we’ve had a lovely summer — a few really hot days, but more, like today, when I can sit outside under the apple tree, with enough shade so I can see the laptop screen.

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both.
