Or, “and we’re back!” Hi there! Guess who has returned! I feel like that one line in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. Well, prior to the past near-year I was somehow naïve enough to swear that I would never be one of Those Guys. You know, the guys who dedicate themselves toContinue reading “Nothing is Scarier Than Getting What You Want”

Workshop update update!
Or, third time’s the charm? Guess what? Something weird happened with Zoom yesterday (when doesn’t it) and we rescheduled the masterclass yet again! Haha. Ha. …………Hah. Now, actually, for real, it will be Friday morning, 1 April, 10:00-11:30 CET. Not an April Fool’s joke, I repeat, NOT an April Fool’s joke. That is just aContinue reading “Workshop update update!”
Workshop update!
Or, an alteration Hear ye hear ye! The first session of the 2022 Creative Writing Masterclass Series, presented by Berlin’s very own Soul and the City, is postponed from Saturday 26 March…to Sunday 27 March! The time is still 11:00-12:30 CET (Central European Time); the place is still Zoom. The theme is “Workshopping Berlin,” asContinue reading “Workshop update!”
News of the Soul: February
I’ve become the in-house reporter for the Berlin arts collective Soul and the City. Check out our first monthly roundup of events, workshops, and things to look forward to here. I took the photos too! (Psst—a certain masterclass with yours truly is featured. 😉) Take care of yourselves this Winterspring, folks! Love—Cecilia
I’m movin’ out!
Or, good luck movin’ up Among other recent life changes, most of which have been for the better, I’m in the process of moving from more central Berlin to more woods- and lake-adjacent Berlin. I’ll miss my current neighborhood, to be sure, but I’m looking forward to spending the warmer months closer to nature. PackingContinue reading “I’m movin’ out!”
An artist’s interlude…
In which I self-promote Big news: five photographs of mine are part of a virtual exhibit by The Holy Art Gallery in London—all for sale—as of tonight! This was my first time submitting to a gallery, and I expected nothing of it, so to have received a positive response is wonderfully affirming. When I saidContinue reading “An artist’s interlude…”
“Hello, it’s the past”
In a good way! Well, I don’t know about anybody else, but I can safely say this is the best year-beginning I’ve had in a while. I spent New Year’s Eve and much of New Year’s Day with a dear friend, walking around her neighborhood, meeting other friends of hers, counting lessons from the yearContinue reading ““Hello, it’s the past””
David Bowie at 75
In which I *am* the young American Happy what would be three-quarters of a century to the one and only Starman. Though the ‘man’ part of that portmanteau, I think, belies his enormous contributions to bringing gender weirdness to the fore of the music industry and mainstream media. Hunky Dory has been on heavy rotationContinue reading “David Bowie at 75”
Notes on Photography
Or, look at me all Susan Sontag with my titles 🥰 There is a difference between taking photographs and making photographs. I’d picked up on photographers saying something to this effect across years of reading—photographers were inevitable in the nonfiction I read—but I truly understood it this past Sunday when I was thrust into theContinue reading “Notes on Photography”
Cecilia of Charlottenburg
Or, a wordy Pinterest board Last weekend I traveled from my neighborhood in the former East Berlin to visit a friend of mine in the western neighborhood of Charlottenburg. I take just about every chance I get to stroll through Charlottenburg because of how fancy I feel doing it. Seeing it at night this time,Continue reading “Cecilia of Charlottenburg”
