What I need is not what the next person needs. <br /><br />Helen- I think since this was my first writers' residency I didn't know what to expect- mostly from myself it turns out. Next time I'll be better prepared. <br /><br />Maryann- I think we're the same. I need a bit of distance to understand things. <br /><br />Stephanie- being able to write anywhere is a real gift. You should be happy about that.Laurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112458658109887868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-87415611047012165012010-05-23T06:42:22.255+02:002010-05-23T06:42:22.255+02:00I'm glad your residency has been a success.

I've since discovered that I can write just about anywhere, anytime.Stephanie Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437077559099315853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-73800239153936620732010-05-23T04:41:06.017+02:002010-05-23T04:41:06.017+02:00Like you, I have not accomplished a whole lot of w...Like you, I have not accomplished a whole lot of writing at a retreat like the one you described, but what I bring home in terms of inspiration usually carries me for a long time. I think I need time to absorb what I am learning and then go back to my quiet office and work.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9052453698252224336.post-18443375255400388692010-05-22T17:55:18.503+02:002010-05-22T17:55:18.503+02:00I'm glad it ended up being a success for you, ...I'm glad it ended up being a success for you, even if it was in ways you didn't anticipate.<br /><br />I did a writing residency and absolutely loved it. Got a ton of writing done. Each morning I'd start with breakfast then a walk, then writing.
