Countdown to Residency

Two more sleeps! I am so excited to be going back for the third MFA residency. I can hardly believe that we are all at the halfway point. I'm looking forward to seeing Writerbug, Fat Charlatan, and Repeater again, as well as My Basement Years and 200 Pairs of Shoes. We all had our struggles over the second semester and I do not believe that third can be as difficult. But we'll see. All I know is that the residency is like summer camp for writers, and I love it!

Today: read the last seminar story, read four large group workshop manuscripts, knit 8 rows of birch, attend women in academe workshop, work up a sweat on the elliptical machine for at least 20 minutes.
