Overwinter

August 24, 2024 by cpgronlund 4 Comments

A snow-covered, rocky bit of land jutting into a gray and roiling sea.

Text Reads: Overwinter. Written and Narrated by: Christopher Gronlund.

In this celebration of solitude, Daniel’s life is changed forever after spending 5 months alone on an island 13 miles off the Maine coast.

Content Advisory: “Overwinter” deals with a job change, longing, solitude vs. loneliness, and does contain a couple words you’ve probably heard on TV or at work this week. There are also a couple scenes with moderate consumption of alcohol.

    So enjoyed this one!
    I don’t know that I could do THAT much time alone – there are days I do feel lonely and not just alone. However, I also enjoy the freedom that being alone provides. As I was listening I was also playing with paper for the next creative clay project.
    I know I’ll listen to this one again. Thanks, Christopher.

      Thanks so much for listening, Jaci. Daniel’s solitude would likely be even a bit much for me. I know I’d love the time to write and do other things, but only having 36 acres to roam and not as many options for things to do might even drive me a little bonkers. I like that you listened while doing something creative…that’s the best!

      Hope all’s well with you!
