Writing Residency Pau!

Aloha!

Just a little note from the other side of the country. I'm finishing up a week-long residency in Vermont at Goddard College www.goddard.edu where I'm pursuing my MFA in Writing.

It has been an incredible week filled with meetings, workshops readings and seminars on writing. It has come to be a very inspirational place for me where people from all walks of life gather to create the written word.

I'm so pumped when I'm here, full of the creative juice, fire.

I bring that home with me.

For about a week.

Then it's back to the grind, the creative fire recedes, and I'm left with ashes.

I need to find a local writing community as varied and vibrant as this one where ideas fly about waiting for you to reach up and grab one by its wings.

The only thing flying around me at home is mosquitoes.

Ouch!
