Summer in Alaska is a full-steam ahead, get-it-all-done,
hangout/work-outside kind of time. If you’re anything like me, you end up
sliding in September exhausted and maybe a little disoriented. Did you write
anything this summer? Did you manage to make the time to devote to your novel
or poetry or creative nonfiction essays? Maybe not. But September is a great
time to buckle back in.

Ah the smell of fresh pencils. When I was a kid, I loved the
ritual of shopping for school supplies. The fresh notebook, the ranks of very
pointy pencils, a pinkie eraser, and maybe if I was lucky, a new pencil case.
That blank notebook held such an allure for me, a chance to start again, a
chance to really pay attention and soak up the learning.
