I’ve always dreamed of working in collaboration with another
artist. Writing is such a solitary discipline. But what would collaboration
look like?
My friend and fellow bootcamper Colleen Davick is a
Renaissance woman in that she has her hand in many pots. An avid Gaelic speaker,
a spooky flutist, green room hostess, booker of concerts, likes to hang out,
always ready for a road trip, and takes awesome pictures with her camera.
What if we did a thing together?
So here we are in the second month of 2019 and I feel it’s
time: We collaborate.
Starting next week for one week she will post a pic on
Facebook (or a few) and I will respond by writing a flash essay inspired by the
picture.
That’s the rules. There will be no boundaries on what she
takes and we will not “arrange” or coordinate a theme. Her picture/my words/one
week.
Ready, set, go.
