Arrivederci Firenze! Mille Grazie!

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Uncategorized

Actually I leave tomorrow at dawn, but wanted to get my final post in today.  I didn’t quite achieve my writing goal, however I got far enough into the winding up conflicts that I have all the last chapters outlined.  Also, had an industry pro go over my first 75,000 words and she gave me [...]

This Book Had to Be Written in Italy

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Uncategorized

The people here may not understand economic principles or democratic government in the same way Americans do, but they know how to love each other.  At least, the ones I have been privileged to consort with do. Utah is beautiful in its own unique way, and I love it, but Tuscany is so soothing, and [...]

It’s Much Nicer Than a Garrett in Paris

Posted by G.G. Vandagriff  Published in Uncategorized

This is one of the happiest times I can remember.  I came to Florence to write and to fulfill my therapist’s wish that I become “confident in my competence.”  The first week was all about acclimating myself once more to Florence—feeling its energy, being comfortable on my own, and establishing a rhythm in this spouseless, [...]
