Vanessa can’t come to the phone right now. She is…

marinating in her thoughts, playing with words, sending her darlings off to a silent retreat, reading a poem, influencing and being influenced, obsessing over design, talking about books, opening a window, inhaling…exhaling, and drinking her second oat milk latte. But mostly, she is drafting.
