Last night, I had a wonderful and inspiring meeting with my creative team: Poet and lover of literature, Bruce Carver, and my incredible graphic designer husband, Steve.
Bruce and I have been friends since 1987 when we were radio geeks at UConn's radio station, WHUS. I have always known the man to be an undiscovered genius of sorts. He is an amazing writer, can recite Melville's Moby Dick from memory, is a fan of Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf, and has a dry, yet profound, sense of humor.
Steve is also a writer and a proud owner of an Art History degree. He is my husband, but he is also my best friend. I respect and value his opinion, and not just because he is a talented creative professional. He is smart, funny and true to his word. He taught me the real meaning of trust. Of love. Of gratitude. I am blessed to have such a fine person as a life partner. Plus, he's pretty cute. Bonus!
It is easy to see why I picked these two amazing people to be on my creative team. Steve and Bruce are not afraid to be honest with me, so when they praise my work--I know they mean every word.
As a writer and artist, I can be my own worst critic. However, I can say that I am proud of this work. I can't wait to share it with all of you.
The muse swooped down from the barn rafters and patted me on the head.
Big smiles!
