In typical fashion, I'm posting this first blog post at the last minute. Honestly, I think people would be surprised if there wasn't something (or, you know, many things) I put off until the last possible moment. But here it is, and here I am--on my way to fly off to Kigali and live in Rwanda for a year.
Many of you reading this will have some part of an idea about what I'm doing this year, but I understand that not everyone (myself included) have the whole picture. This creates the opportunity for us to travel this journey together. In a separate post, I've outlined some frequently asked questions that I've received in hopes that it helps you understand better what I'm doing. As I know information, I'm excited to share it with you here. I will keeping this page as updated as my internet access allows.
In an exercise of self-control, my plan is to keep these posts brief. I tend to ramble, so I'm stating here in the open, in an attempt to cultivate some accountability, that this year will be a practice in economical writing. That being said, if I touch on something in a post that you want explained more, please let me know!
Finally, I'm excited to share with you in my writing project for the year. Upon the advice of my poetry advisor and mentor, I'm including in my daily writing practice a sonnet project. I'm going to be writing a sonnet every day as a way to catalogue the day and uphold my poetry practice for the year. I plan on sharing some of these with you--Sonnet Sundays, anyone?--throughout the year.
Feel free to poke around the FAQs of this blog and let me know if you have any questions at all! My email is emilybishop76@gmail.com and I can be reached there.
Love,
Emily
