It's All Words, I Guess

This is what I will not be doing next February:

Pekka Halonen Washing on the Ice 1900

I applied for a writing residency in Finland and didn't get it.  (To be fair, there was no mention of washing clothes outdoors, but I did like the painting.)  So now, I'm writing more applications for more residencies that I have since discovered.  Writing applications is hard work.  I'd rather be writing a novel.  But, as it says in the title, it's all words, I guess.
