A Conversation with the Voices in Your Head: Talking Out Your Writing

Leslie’s Mansion in the Sky

Leslie invited us to a New Year’s Eve party in her mansion in Sedona. I seldom have access to mansions, and at the invitation, my mind ran wild with images of spacious rooms, dripping jewelry, champagne glasses, and balconies that opened to mountain rock and night sky. Overwhelming but fun.
