Rejection, again. What do I do now?
I’m having a serious pity party for myself today. After waiting two and a half months, the literary agent who requested my manuscript for “Learn, Create, and Teach” officially rejected me today. It especially hurts because this particular agent is high up on the food chain, and because it sucks to have come so far, only to be rejected. I’ve talked before on this blog about...

Eastern State Penitentiary
One of my friends reminded me this week about Eastern State Penitentiary, a Victorian era prison that is located in Philadelphia. I had heard about it many years ago but until now had completely forgotten about it. They accept artist proposals for installations on the site, and they’re taking proposals now for the 2014 season. With a June deadline, it may be too soon for me to come up with...
