Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: I'm Sorry, Cora Campbell
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2015/07/im-sorry-cora-campbell.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. I'm Sorry, Cora Campbell. 8220;Oh my god, can you believe that’s the Alaska Commissioner of Fish and Game? She sounds like a teenager! 8221; I said as I listened to Commissioner Cora Campbell during a radio interview not long after her confirmation in 2011. She was 31, pretty, and I assumed had gotten the job as a result of more of the oh-so-common insider Alaska political shenanigans. What resulted was ...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Learning Lessons - Taking Lumps
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2011/11/learning-lessons-taking-lumps.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Learning Lessons - Taking Lumps. Here we are again. That dreaded span of months between the hope of summer sun and the hope of winter snow when all that we can look forward to is a break in the perpetual wet and grey. Today is one of those days. Clear and bright in the best of ways. Maybe it’s the weather. But finally, after three years of an MFA program, I’m starting to see a pattern. But then, in ...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Personality
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2013/11/personality.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Friday, November 8, 2013. Through most of college I kept a livejournal. After a great trip last weekend to visit a bunch of college buddies, I decided to wade back through the archives. I took a lot of quizzes. And wrote a lot about being excited to get drunk. I also spent a lot of time writing about how depressed I felt, apparently for no reason. Now, I get ENFJ. Ugh I'm the eternal optimist. But I guess what I'm getting at is...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Johnny Book-seed
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2013/11/johnny-book-seed.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. On the ride home from a birthday party I asked our DD, Steve, if I he had read the book sitting in the middle of the trucks' front bench-seat, David Gran's The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. When he said he had, I asked if I could borrow it. With mild trepidation, I reached out and took the book. I'd been wanting to read it ever since we did our Amazon trip in 2008. Writin...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Secret Agent Dreams
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2011/04/secret-agent-dreams.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Thursday, April 28, 2011. My mother and father, but especially my mother, constantly drove the message that we could be anything we wanted to be. I thought that maybe someday I would work for the president after my long and accomplished spy career. I didn’t want to be the president, but I wanted to be someone who was important to the president. Thank goodness I never followed through on those naïve day dreams. Sometimes it feel...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Go Again?
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2015/06/go-again.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Interesting that my last post, from November 2013, referenced livejournal. The majority of my blogging efforts these days are focused on foodabe.com. A blog all about food, hunting, foraging, and my attempts at being a dorky food-focused outdoor badass. I’ve got all sorts of things that I’m mentally working through right now (besides how I feel about Prairie Home Companion) that it would be n...Juneau, A...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Fact v. Fiction
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2010/10/truth-v-fiction.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Fact v. Fiction. 8220;What is history? How can we ever know? 8221; These were the only two sentences that I wrote on piece of lined notebook paper and mailed to my first college advisor in the middle of my summer internship. I wrote them when I lost faith. Shortly afterwards I abandoned my History major and decided to study Comparative Literature. I spent my first year and a half of college at.

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Thank You, David Shayt
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2015/07/thank-you-david-shayt.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Thank You, David Shayt. I didn’t care what internship I got, just as long as I got one there. The National Museum of American History’s website listed the likely projects that each intern would be working on and the required experience for each position. I applied to every single internship that I even vaguely qualified for. He was in charge of making sure the bell in the tower of “The Castle”...I ran int...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: Close Reading
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2011/12/close-reading.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Friday, December 2, 2011. I know that this is the way that I should’ve been reading through my whole MFA program. But who want to read with pen in hand making notes like “POV switch here with lack of descriptors.” Yuck. The reason I’m a writer is because I’m a reader. As a kid, it was the only thing I consistently loved. And loved more than anything else in the world. This year I’m working with Jo-ann Mapson. How does she get t...

Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes: J-U-L-Y
http://erinanais.blogspot.com/2015/08/j-u-l-y.html
Erin Anais Hanson: Two-Stepping Waltzes. Two steps back, three steps forward. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. This has been a crazy last month. I feel like I could write a book about everything that’s been going on. But books don’t fit into blog posts. So here’s a bullet list in chronological order:. At the start of the month -. One week later -. I’m the third reader - about 20 minutes in.). One day later -. My friend, teammate, and supervisor Kathy Peterson committed suicide. One day later –. One week later ...
