I'm a University Lecturer in English and the author of a novel, The Secret of Hurricanes (MacAdam/Cage 2002). My life is summed up by Rumi, who said: "My story gets told in various ways: a romance, a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy." Rumi's quote is the epigraph to Hurricanes. The purpose of this journal is to explore creativity and the writing life.

Yesterday, I spent all day making images. The art class that I wanted to take was canceled. It was on narrative images. I thought I would use the class to work on a journal I have been wanting to make that would combine images and journal entries. But just because the class was canceled, I reasoned, no need to give up on that goal! I have a lot of my art materials with me, and I've been waiting for a quiet time (away from the novel) to put my energy into some visual imagery. I find these to be so exciting to do.
