The dance blogosphere is losing an incredible dance writer as Rachel Howard will be reviewing less dance while she focuses on her next novel.
I’m still writing about dance, but more rarely. I’m looking forward to sitting at my desk for five hours a day, obeying no deadline but my own drive to communicate, searching for the perfect simile to describe a character’s crucial realization rather than a dancer’s perfect arabesque. I’m looking forward to trading the instant gratification of seeing my story in the next day’s paper for the drawn-out frustration of wondering whether the story I’m working on will ever be published. You’ll be hearing from me less. But you’ll be seeing me at the theater.
