My Muse at the Artist Colony

Today, I:

• Worked feverishly—and will continue to work—on something due in to my publisher this week.
• Attempted to cook myself tofu for lunch and dinner and set off the smoke detector in the house kitchen. Awesome. See? I can barely survive without Thai takeout.
• Finished the amazing new novel by my friend Cat Clarke: Torn, which came out this December in the UK and I wish would come out in the US (US editors, have you read this yet??). Tagline: “Four girls. One dead body. A whole lot of guilt.” So good!
• Walked around all day in my writing sweater and writing pajamas and writing slippers, a combination of such hideousity I won’t capture it here.
• Missed E.

But you want to know more about my muse, don’t you? I give you Lucky, the bunny who lives in the garden below the deck off my room:

I’ve never seen a bunny in person before as far as I can remember… and I’m wildly excited to have him living outside my sliding-glass door!
