I received an email from my friend Cooper who told me that in 1999 she created a writing room in her house with the intention of giving it a proper name. Rewind to 1983, I was a silly girl taking a women's literature course in Santa Cruz and thought the professor had assigned a book by Virginia Woolf called A Room of One Zone. Needless to say, I had a very difficult time locating this book. When my friend Tai revealed my faux pas at Aerophant, Cooper read it and was inspired to finally name her sacred space.

That's a very inspirational name for a writing room, if you think about it (which I'm now doing....)
Just wait until you all see the finished product. Did you know one of May Sarton's last books was named "End Zone"?
Do you mean the book, End's Own?
It's one of my favorites!
Yeah, in your language that would be, "End's Own".
This exchange has given new meaning to the phrase, Girls Gone Wild.
Girls nothing, END ZONE was written by Michael Vick!
