It’s true… the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods (just outside Santa Cruz, California) selected me for a two-week Emerging Writer Residency. I will have time to write, write, write as well as consult with a best-selling author (cofounder Steve), participate in critiques and open mic nights, swim, hike, and practice yoga. Look at me with a silly grin on my face!
