Fantastic issue! It's really cool to get a thorough inside view of something like this -- a very different world than we're used to. Glad it went well and was so energizing!
Thank you, for this beautiful account of your experience... I could really go through parts of it, with you, through this text; and it reminded me in a very spirited way my own similar experience, and why I want to do this again in the future, the value of these spaces... Thank you so much :) and best of luck to you
Hello fellow Fellow! Thank you for this communion. MacDowell was such a special experience and I hope we both get to experience it again! There were so many repeating Fellows in my cohort; clearly this is a shared sentiment. I can't wait. Best of luck to you too!
Sunrise and The West Wing - two of my favorite things. Reading this put my mind and body at ease (hopefully enough for it to help me finally crack the flow of this piece I’m trying to publish soon - it’s been killing me 😖). Sending love from the city, x.
What an incredibly joyous read. I've always wanted to know how a residency worked and I feel like I've been treated to a most wonderful adventure (and I can very much appreciate the lows and highs).
Thank you Jim! You would have loved it. Many professors there, FWIW! And I overlapped with quite a few international Fellows, including at least two from the UK...
i enjoyed reading about your MacDowell residency; thank you for all the rich details and breakdown of your day—i am applying to some writing residences and reading about your stay is valuable insight.
Melissa, thank you! And how wonderful that you're applying to residencies—they're not for everyone but for me, so nourishing and protective. Best of luck to you and I hope they prove to be edifying experiences for you.

Ah thank you as always! It was truly special—as good for the work as it was for me.
Vividly detailed! Thanks for taking us along on the ride.
Thank you so much!! Hope you enjoyed ☺️

Thank you Cat! Writing is so haaaard. Best of luck on your piece, can't wait to read.
Also, SLEEP IN MORE!!! (I meet sunrise every other day because I like both too much 🙃)
You are wise :)
